About the Item

A heart-warming genre scene by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Jules Trayer (1824–1909). This painting tenderly depicts a mother and daughter in prayer. The little girl kneels on a chair, eyes closed and hands clasped in quiet devotion, while her mother gently holds her daughter, looking on with warmth and adoration. Renowned for his sensitive portrayals of family life, Trayer masterfully captures this intimate moment with delicacy and emotional depth. The setting is rich in detail – from the fine fabrics and furnishings to the delicate porcelain adorning the mantel – adding elegance to the composition. Trayer’s expert use of light bathes the figures in a soft, angelic glow, further enhancing the serene atmosphere of the scene. Signed to the lower left. Original inscription verso, along with a later gallery label. Well presented in a swept gilt frame. On canvas on stretchers. Image size: 52 x 41.5cm.
