About the Item
This tender interior scene by Henry Bacon captures a moment of warmth and domestic harmony. A young mother leans gently over a carved red cradle while her daughter, dressed in a white gown with red slippers, reaches down to pet the family dog resting on a fur rug. The rich tones and textured brushwork evoke the cozy atmosphere of 19th-century home life, with carefully observed details like the child’s soft curls, the mother’s relaxed posture, and the playful interaction between child and pet. Bacon, known for his genre scenes, offers here a beautifully composed narrative of maternal care and innocence. Signed lower right, this painting is a fine example of sentimental realism and would appeal to collectors of American and European domestic genre works.
