This is a hand-colored engraving titled “The Mother and Child”, based on an etching by Sir David Wilkie, R.A., and engraved by J.C. Armytage. The intimate domestic scene captures a tender moment between a mother and her young child, who is playfully adjusting her hat. The richly dressed woman, seated on an ornate chair, smiles warmly, reflecting affection and familial closeness. A decorative pitcher and draped textiles further enhance the setting’s warmth and character. The engraving showcases 19th-century European interest in sentimental and genre scenes that celebrate everyday life and human connection.
