EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century oil painting, titled "School Girls" by George Augustus Baker, transports us back in time to the 1860s in America. The image beautifully portrays two schoolgirls, dressed in their finest attire, standing outside in the crisp autumn air. The older girl, with a gentle smile on her face, wears a long, dark coat over her dress, while the younger girl, holding her hand, dons a lighter colored dress with a matching overcoat and a bright headdress adorned with lace and ribbons. Their posture and the way they hold hands suggest a close friendship and a sense of unity. The painting showcases the fashion trends of the Victorian era, with the girls' clothing featuring intricate details, vibrant colors, and elegant designs. The girls are depicted against an exterior backdrop of a rustic, wooden school building, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The painting is a testament to the heritage and art of the 19th century, and a reminder of the simple joys of childhood. George Augustus Baker, the artist, masterfully captures the essence of the moment, using oil on canvas to bring the scene to life. The painting is currently housed in the Walters Art Museum, offering a glimpse into the past for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
