Provenance: part. bezit Groot-Brittannië.

Carlton Smith was one of the Victorian genre painters who idealized simple family life in the English countryside. His depictions are sunny, the women and children fresh and handsome and the interiors lend themselves to small, detailed still lifes. The son of an engraver, Smith was initially a lithographer. After training at the Slade School in London, he was part of the artists' colony around Myles Birket Foster in Witley (Surrey) for a while and developed into one of the best-known watercolourists of his time. The painter mainly exhibited at the exhibitions of the Royal Society in London.
