À propos de l’œuvre
This watercolour by John Everett Millais (1829-1896) is a version of the oil painting that he exhibited at London’s Royal Academy of Arts in 1864. The year before, Millais had shown a picture of his daughter sitting upright and attentive in church listening to the preacher's message. This was entitled My First Sermon, and it was a tremendous success with the public. Millais capitalised on the success of that painting with this sequel, in which we discover that the novelty of a church service for a young child has waned. The painting was seen as a warning to preachers to keep their sermons short and to the point.
