    19th-Century English School

    Group Portrait Of Three Children

    This charming mid-19th-century watercolour depicts three children, possibly siblings, within an interior.

    Attired in the latest fashions, they each hold a pose. On the left, a young lad proudly holds a violin. On the right, a demure young lady clutches a small basket. While centre-stage, the oldest girl points her toe as if immersed in a merry dance.

    It’s fascinating to consider the sitting, the conversations between their parents and the artist.

    “Well, Isabelle is a wonderful dancer, she ought to go in the middle.”
    “Mary of course needs her basket, do hold still Mary. Not long to go.”
    “And where’s Alfred? Gone to get his violin. He’s adamant it should be included."

    Watercolours of this nature were popular with the Victorians and even the Queen herself was partial to dabbling in the art. The artist here is unknown but probably local to the family estate.

    Overall size: 17” x 16” / 43cm x 40cm
