Description: | Flowers and birds' nests were often featured as part of the still life pictures popular in Victorian times. This kind of composition allowed artists to bring together a range of different textures. In this painting, smooth eggs rest on soft down inside the nest of spiky twigs, and delicate flowers rest on a wooden surface. The depiction of real flowers is echoed in the shapes of the flower-patterned fabric, demonstrating the artist's skill. This London artist used her formal married name of Mrs Alexander Farmer. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1855 to 1867 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Mrs Alexander Farmer | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
