Description
The subject is a strange one for Leighton, who seldom tried his hand at contemporary sentimental genre. In the same year he exhibited 'Mother and Child', now in Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery, which also has a contemporary setting but which is otherwise unrelated. The setting is said to be an interior of St Mark's, Venice. Leighton stayed in Venice in September to October 1864, writing to his father on 20th September that he had made 'a few sketches in St Mark's which I think promise well.
