Sisterly Love, Victorian Watercolour, Family Group, Framed

About the Item

Watercolour on paper Image size: 7 x 5 1/4 inches (17.75 x 13.25 cm) Mounted and framed Mounted with a contemporary gilt frame This joyful painting of an interior features two figures - a young child and an older adolescent, who are likely to be sisters. The scene is captured in delicate watercolour brush strokes showing the elder of the two holding a doll high and out of the young girl's reach. John Faed As a young boy John Faed displayed exceptional artistic talent as a portraitist. Despite his father’s objections towards a career as an artist, Faed moved to Edinburgh in 1839 to attend the Trustees’ Academy where he studied life drawing and painting. He began to move away from portraiture and painted more subject pictures. Faed chose scenes from Shakespeare and the Bible, but specialised in Scottish subjects such as those popularised by the novels of Sir Walter Scott. He was elected an associate member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1847, and a full member in 1851. In 1857 he spent four months travelling in the Middle East, where he collected numerous props to incorporate into his Eastern and biblical pictures. Apart from this trip and a period in London from 1864-69, Faed remained in Scotland.

They were particular in their frankness and often biting social satire. Genre painting became hugely popular in the Victorian age and towards the end of the nineteenth century a new focus for genre painting emerged. The Artist Joseph H Barnes...
