Description: | The young woman in this picture has very recently received news of a death - the letter still lies on the couch beside her. She has placed a black scarf for mourning around her neck, and stares fixedly ahead while the little girl tries in vain to interest her in a toy. Both are dressed in the height of fashion. The animal-skin rug on the floor suggests the possiblity that the letter tells of the death of the woman's husband on a shooting safari abroad. The opulent late Victorian furniture includes an aspidistra in a brass pot. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1880 to 1883 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Edgard Farasyn | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
