EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "The Favourite" was painted by Thomas-Francis Dicksee in 1860-61. The oil on canvas artwork measures 61x50.8 cm and is currently held in a private collection, represented by John Bennett Fine Paintings. In this stunning piece, we see a young Victorian girl depicted in an oval-shaped frame, half-length against a picturesque outdoor backdrop. The artist skillfully captures the innocence and charm of childhood through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. The focal point of the painting is undoubtedly the girl's beloved pet rabbit, which she cradles gently in her arms. This endearing connection between child and animal adds warmth and tenderness to the composition. Dicksee masterfully employs light and shadow to create depth and dimension within the scene. Soft sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled patterns across both subject and landscape. "The Favourite" exemplifies Victorian portraiture at its finest, showcasing not only technical proficiency but also an intimate glimpse into daily life during that era. It serves as a testament to the enduring bond between humans and their pets throughout history. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection for future generations to appreciate its beauty.
