Fanny Mearns
Fanny Mearns (fl.1870-1881) - 1880 Oil, The Bosom Of The Family

1880

About the Item

A heartwarming oil interior scene by the British painter, Fanny Mearns. The scene shows the rustic interior of a farmhouse kitchen. The father has seated himself in a chair, still holding his crop, after a day's work, driving a carriage or cart. He holds a jug of ale, ready to pour it into the glass his wife holds on a tray. She has her other arm wrapped around their young child, who's bare feet rest upon the wooden table. A disgruntled cat sits at their feet, his empty saucer before him. The scene is filled with wholesome, domestic happiness, the modest home filled with personal belongings. The artist has employed the Romantic view that many held, of rural life during this era. Â The artist has signed and dated to the lower left corner and the painting is presented in a contemporary gilt effect frame with ribbed cove and foliate strapwork. On canvas.
