EDITORS COMMENTS
Anticipation, 1891 (w/c) captures a tender moment in the lives of working-class families during the late 19th century. In this watercolor painting by Hugh Cameron, we are transported to a humble cottage where a mother and her two young children eagerly await their meal. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he skillfully portrays the anticipation on each family member's face. The children's eyes sparkle with excitement while their mother lovingly watches over them, perhaps contemplating how she will divide the meager portions of food they have. The rustic interiors of the cottage further emphasize their modest living conditions. Cameron's genre painting beautifully depicts everyday life for common people during this era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by working-class families and highlights their resilience and determination in providing for their loved ones. The inclusion of apples in the composition symbolizes both sustenance and hope, representing simple pleasures that bring joy amidst hardship. This artwork from The McManus collection in Dundee, UK offers us an intimate glimpse into history, showcasing not only Scottish culture but also universal themes of family bonds and perseverance. As we gaze upon 'Anticipation', we cannot help but be moved by its emotional depth and timeless relevance. It reminds us to cherish even the smallest moments of anticipation in our own lives.
