Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting shows a domestic scene in a rustic cottage interior. A mother admonishes two children who have broken a bowl of milk on the floor. The artist contrasts the older girl's contrite reaction with that of the smaller boy who pretends to be distracted by the wall behind him. Scenes showing the simple morality of rustic life were popular with nineteenth-century audiences, providing an antidote to the stresses of modernity. Some painters specialised in the depiction of children and domestic scenes. | Subjects: | everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hiddeman, C.
