Oil on Canvas Portrait of Mother and Child

c. 1850 or 1860

About the Item

This painting is unsigned but evidence shows that it is from a European school. It shows a mother with a child on her lap as well as a forest background. Likely wealthier patrons due to the style and overall appearance of the clothing both of them are wearing. This painting is in excellent condition for its age and it comes unframed. In the faces of this painting there is such detail in hidden expressions as well as a detailed design of the lace sleeves of the mothers dress. The color palette compliments and emphasizes the two people in the foreground yet leaves a hazy darker tone for the background. This is an amazing European painting and shows a variety of different master skills.

Enjoying Old Times
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
"Enjoying Old Times" by Charles Baker captures a poignant and joyful moment in the life of an older man, immersed in the beauty of nature. The painting features the man in the midst of a hike, his weathered walking stick in one hand, and a bottle of champagne in the other. His gaze is fixed on the bottle, a focused and content expression playing on his lips, suggesting a celebration of memories or perhaps a spontaneous toast to the present moment. Baker’s use of warm, earthy tones highlights the natural surroundings, with the man standing against a backdrop of greenery, a rocky path, and a clear, open sky. The composition is rich in detail, from the rugged texture of the man’s clothes...
