Beschreibung

The print, titled "The Queen of the Vineyard," depicts a charming rural scene involving four children engaged in playful activities. At the center of the composition, a young girl, likely the "queen" referenced in the title, sits beneath a large umbrella. She appears to preside over a make-believe feast, complete with a small table and tea set. Surrounding her, three other children participate: one offers her food or drink, while the others are engaged in assisting or observing. The setting includes rustic elements such as a brick oven, wooden doors, and various household items, including a basket of grapes and scattered leaves, symbolizing vineyard life. The engraving credits P. Skionac (Pinxt) as the painter and F. A. Heath (Sculpt) as the engraver. These details suggest the print was created during the 19th century, aligning with a time when genre scenes of rural life were popular. The scene captures the innocence and creativity of childhood, combined with an idyllic portrayal of vineyard life. The print originated from the collection of H. P. Hughes, Esq., Walthamstow, as noted in the caption.- Approx Image Size: 10 x 7 ins - Approx Overall Size With Borders : 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins CONDITION: FULL PAGE STEEL ENGRAVING. BLANK ON THE BACK.
