'His First Suit,' a large Victorian oil painting, signed 'Fred Morgan'
English, c.1899
Frame: Height 109cm, width 133cm, depth 8cm
Canvas: Height 92cm, width 116cm, depth 2.5cm
Executed in oil-on-canvas, and mounted in a carved giltwood frame, this beautiful English painting, titled 'His first suit,' is by the late Victorian artist Frederick Morgan, an artist working in a similar style to that of the more well known Arthur John Elsley. This painting bears a number of similarities to Morgan's famous painting 'His first birthday'.
Both works depict an idyllic, middle-class English summer scene. Morgan painted from life and a number of the models in the paintings are the same in both works, such as the elderly couple on the left, who also feature in 'His first birthday', as well as Morgan’s wife Mary, here the model for the woman kneeling on the floor. Morgan's son Courtney, aged around four, is in fact the young boy showing off his first suit.
The painting is a delightful celebration of the Victorian notion of the unspoilt childhood that was revered and promoted by the middle and upper-classes. Childhood became an enormously popular theme in art during the nineteenth century and many of Britain's most talented artists chose to depict various aspects from the impoverished orphan to the exquisitely dressed rosy-cheeked paragon of purity and sweetness. As with many of Fred Morgan's works His first suit was also produced as a coloured photogravure.
It is signed 'Fred Morgan.' (lower right) and further signed, inscribed and numbered 'No. 1271/His first suit/F. Morgan/ilx/-/- Nett' (on the artist's label attached to the stretcher).

Out of Mischief - British Victorian 1891 art interior portrait oil painting
Located in Hagley, England
This absolutely charming exhibited British Victorian oil painting is by female artist Maria Louisa Angus. Painted in 1891, it was exhibited at the Royal Academy that same year. The composition is an interior scene with two young girls on a sofa, looking at a picture book and keeping 'out of mischief' as it is entitled. The room holds an exotic mix of oriental objects and a gorgeous umbrella plant in a gleaming terracotta pot. The girls themselves are sat on a beautifully detailed fur throw, looking at a book, with a marine painting on the wall behind them. The brushwork and colouring are superb and the pink of the older girl's dress is picked up throughout the room. A really lovely painting by a very talented Victorian female artist.
