Law Sakes Alive! What are you Doing, Baby?
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of bustling activity captured in oil on linen by Charles Cole Markham in 1872. This vibrant painting, measuring 113.6x149 cm, now resides in the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society. The scene unfolds within an indoor market, where a myriad of characters engage in their daily routines. The central figure that steals our attention is a mischievous child who seems to have found themselves amidst quite the commotion. Their wide-eyed expression and raised hands suggest they have been caught red-handed engaging in some sort of mischief. Surrounding this curious child are vendors passionately hawking their wares - fruits and vegetables piled high at one stall, while a butcher proudly displays his cuts of meat at another. The atmosphere is alive with energy as buyers and sellers negotiate prices and exchange goods. Amidst this hustle and bustle stands a mother figure, her face etched with both concern for her wayward child and amusement at their antics. She embodies the timeless struggle between parental responsibility and allowing children to explore their surroundings freely. Markham's masterful brushwork brings every detail to life - from the textures of various produce to the playfulness evident on each character's face. "Law Sakes Alive! What are you Doing, Baby?" serves as a delightful window into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry.
