Description: | Frederick Richard Pickersgill (1820-1900) was an English painter and book illustrator. Born into a family of artists, he was admitted to the Royal Academy Schools in 1840. He did some book illustrations for the works of John Milton and Edgar Allan Poe. Pickersgill was heavily influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite painters who used enhanced colours and emphasised detail. Here, Pickersgill has captured a brief moment in time as his son and nurse look expectantly at what might the artist himself sketching them.
Oil painting of a baby and nurse in an autumnal forest. The dark haired nurse wears a burgundy dress with a blue apron. She holds the baby upright in her lap. The child wears a white gown with a red scarf at its neck. Behind them are tree trunks and brambles. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Woodlands Trees Fine arts Mothers Oil painting Women Nurses Oil Paintings Autumn Babies Victorian period Paintings Wooded areas Dresses People Art collections | Temporal: | 1863
