"La Culla" - painted by Williams - one of the prize pictures of the Glasgow Art Union, 1858. We have here a pleasing domestic picture, probably sketched from nature, and painted with all the warmth of colour appropriate to the sunny South. "La Culla" (the cradle) contains the first-born of the young mother, who sits beside it on a doorstep knitting thick worsted hose for paterfamilias, who is away from home toiling for home's sake. A faithful dog looks on, apparently quite contented with his lot, which, though humble and spare and frugal, he would not exchange for that of "his Highness's dog at Kew." The ample dilapidated doorway in which the little group is placed tells of the grandeur of mediaeval Italy-now for a time departed from her, but living still in the aspirations of her sons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

La Culla,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by Williams, is a captivating domestic scene and one of the prized pictures of the Glasgow Art Union in 1858. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but its beauty and warmth have been admired for over a century and a half. The painting depicts a simple yet heartwarming scene of a young mother cradling her newborn baby on a doorstep, surrounded by the rustic charm of Italy. She sits beside the "La Culla" (the cradle), knitting thick worsted hose for her husband, who is away from home, working to provide for their family. A faithful dog, contented with his humble existence, looks on from the side. The ample, dilapidated doorway in which the little group is placed speaks of the grandeur of mediaeval Italy, now for a time departed but living still in the aspirations of her sons. The sun-drenched colors and the warmth of the scene evoke a sense of tranquility and the simple pleasures of life. This painting, as described in the "Illustrated London News" in 1858, is a testament to the beauty and charm of the Italian countryside and the enduring bond between family, home, and the love of a faithful companion. The unknown artist has captured the essence of a moment in time, immortalizing it for future generations to appreciate. The painting's composition, use of color, and attention to detail all contribute to its timeless appeal, making it a beloved piece of art that continues to inspire and delight viewers. The mystery of its creator only adds to its allure, leaving us to ponder the artist's intentions and the story behind this enchanting scene.
