The scene shows a rustic kitchen with a mother and child sat by an open fire. The mother holds an open book on her lap with a reading glass in her hand as her daughter looks up at her, one hand on her lap. The artist's use of gestural, loose brushwork for the surroundings and tighter, more focused technique on the sitter's hands and faces, is similar to that of Thomas Faed. The painting has been inscribed "T. Faed" to the lower right corner and the the painting has been presented in a handsome 19th Century tarnished gilt frame with laurel and berry outer molding and acanthus leaf strap work, finished with a gilt slip. their is an inscription at the reverse reading "Thomas Faed 1867." This is likely in a later hand. On canvs. Condition The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. Inspection under UV light reveals some areas of restoration. Two small dents to the lower right quadrant and some abrasion to the paint from the frame at the lower left corner.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods.
