Description: | This genre piece shows the interior of a rustic, stone floored cottage with a nurse, two children and a baby. The young girl feeds the baby whilst the boy teases the cat with an empty bowl. Genre scenes showing an idealised version of a simple, rustic life were popular with nineteenth-century buyers. Anecdotes involving children were particularly sought after. They were often shown acting out small-scale, yet touching, human dramas. | Subjects: | everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: German School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8570... | Go to resource |
