: The focus of the picture is the woman gazing tenderly at the child on her lap. The light warmly illuminates one side of the woman's face, leaving the other in darkness. The firelight also brings out blue shadows and varied colours on the apron of the little girl. The young man beside the woman and child is lit by a more even illumination, which casts a warm glow over his face and hands.
Frame damage as noted in the report. Stable and not going to fall off etc, just a note to be aware when handling. previous split which looks as if the frame has moved/contracted a little not allowing it to sit back into original place. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.paintings.300109 | Go to resource |
