About the piece
Painted in 1799 by William Redmore Bigg, this work captures a refined domestic gathering for the christening of an infant heir. The soft, luminous palette and delicate rendering of late 18th-century fashions create a sense of quiet celebration and familial warmth characteristic of English genre painting.
