"‘The Child Sitter’ thus emerges as a highly important document. On one level we are looking at a typically fine example of William Mulready’s early genre painting, treating rather appositely the actual subject of his trade and underlining his position as one of the earliest and best exponents of this art. But on another we are offered a unique insight into the private world of this strangely un-Victorian painter. Here is the artist in a completely unpretentious setting, surrounded by those dearest to him – his sons, his long-term companion Elizabeth Leckie and her - and in all probability his - young daughter. The year is close to 1820 – the period of the Regency or George IV in fact – and Victorian mores have yet to come into force. So we are looking intriguingly not at the finished public image of this highly successful Irish painter, who rose to the top of the British Victorian art establishment, but at the fascinating reality of his earlier life as he was making his way there."

"A writer for Art dealers Ncolas Bagshawe identifies the artist in the picture as Mulready himself, the young girl as Mary Leckie, the two boys as two of Mulready’s sons by Elizabeth Varley, the lady in the cap as Mrs Leckie and the probable location of the scene as Leckies lodging house."
