Sull’opera
Egypt held a particular fascination for artists of the nineteenth century. Like many orientalist painters, Frederick Goodall spent time living in Egypt and his work focused on capturing the realities of everyday life in the country. This watercolour, depicting a Christian Egyptian Mother and her child is more like a portrait than a genre scene in its exquisite detail and intimate intensity. However audience’s in Britain would have enjoyed it as a fascinating “snapshot” of another way of life.
