Old Woman and Child Reading a Book, 1840s. Creator: Richard Caton Woodville
Old Woman and Child Reading a Book, 1840s. An old woman sits with her feet propped on a hassock, looking pensively into the distance. The young girl at her side reads from a large book. Such details of costume as the woman's lace ruff and the girl's unfinished carved chair place this in the seventeenth-century period context that was prized by American collectors and fashionable among Dusseldorf artists in the period before the American Civil War. The relationship between generations that is a recurrent theme in Woodville's work is treated here as contented coexistence

EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Woman and Child Reading a Book" is an exquisite 19th-century oil painting by the renowned American artist, Richard Caton Woodville. This evocative work of art, created in the 1840s, depicts an old woman and a young girl in a warm and contented scene of intergenerational bonding. The old woman, dressed in the fashion of the 17th century, sits with her feet comfortably propped on a hassock, her gaze lost in the distance. Her lace ruff and the girl's unfinished carved chair are telling details that place this painting in the 17th-century context that was highly prized by American collectors and popular among Dusseldorf artists before the American Civil War. The young girl, dressed in the clothing of the 19th century, sits beside her grandmother, engrossed in the pages of a large book. Their clasped hands and the close proximity of their bodies suggest a deep connection and a sense of shared experience. The painting's rich colors and intricate details, from the woman's dark dress to the girl's unfinished chair, transport us to a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the enduring nature of family relationships and the passage of time. This full-length painting, with its warm, domestic setting, is a testament to Woodville's mastery of oil painting and his ability to capture the beauty and nuance of everyday life. The painting is currently housed in the Walters Art Museum and is a cherished piece of heritage art that continues to inspire and delight viewers with its timeless message of intergenerational love and connection.
