Description: | Alfred Provis' career flourished between 1843-1886 as a well-known domestic genre painter, specialising in detailed interiors of cottages. He exhibited at The Royal Academy, British Institute and some of his works are in The Victoria and Albert Museum, London. In this peaceful domestic scene the warm orange and brown tones add to the cosy feel of this cottage interior. The artist wished to show a scene of intimacy and comfort, allowing us to be present at this special moment between mother and child.
