EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Elgar Hicks' masterpiece, "The Orphans, 1884". The oil on canvas painting depicts a poignant scene of two young sisters in the midst of poverty and despair. In this intimate interior setting, the girls are huddled together in an attic space illuminated solely by a flickering candle. Their delicate features reflect both innocence and hardship as they navigate life without parents to guide them. The bowl cup placed before them suggests their meager existence, while the cluttered surroundings hint at their humble living conditions. Hicks masterfully captures the essence of Victorian-era orphanhood with his attention to detail and emotional depth. This powerful artwork transports viewers back in time, allowing us to empathize with these vulnerable children who were left to fend for themselves. Through this print from Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only Hicks' artistic prowess but also his ability to shed light on societal issues that persist even today. "The Orphans" serves as a reminder of the resilience found within those facing adversity and prompts us to consider our own role in supporting those less fortunate.
