| "Seated on a wooden bench in her cottage-garden by the river-side is an elderly matron, reading a letter from, it may be a son, who, like Tom Moore's minstrel boy 'to the war is gone'. Leaning on a post of the palings, in an unconstrained attitude, is a young girl, listening to the narrative with an expression of countenance very thoughtful, if not somewhat sad; in her hand she holds what seems to be a framed portrait - perchance of one dearer to her than a brother. The girl is the feature of the composition: a gentle, loving filial being, and of quiet beauty." (Art Journal 1877) | |||||
