Walter Shaw Sparrow
Walter Shaw Sparrow - 1888 Oil, Donnez Moi Un Sou!

1888

About the Item

A charismatic study depicting a peasant father and child in a rural landscape. The artist captures the figures in a soft manner with a focus on light, showing influence from Barbizon and pre-Raphaelite contemporaries of the time. At the girl's feet is a small dog symbolising patience and loyalty. Paying close attention to the figures' clothing and faces, the artist displays an expert hand in portraying expression and lifelike details. Titled 'Donnez Moi Un Sou!' translating to 'Give me a penny!' in English. Signed and dated to the lower left. Presented in a wooden frame with a gilt inner window. Inscribed with title verso. On canvas.
