About the painting
William Collins (1788-1847) trained in London at the Royal Academy of Arts and went on to become a popular painter of landscapes and rustic genre scenes. He was particularly fond of representing children. The combination of his fine technique and the pathos of the subject in this painting appealed to a wide public, connoisseurs and amateurs alike. This version is a replica of a painting commissioned by a Mr Holden and exhibited in London at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1833. The print subsequently made after this painting was very popular, combining as it does a pretty rural setting with a sentimental subject. An appreciative biography of Collins (published in 1848) was written by his son, the novelist Wilkie Collins.
