About the piece
Created in 1814 by the renowned Scottish artist Sir David Wilkie, this oil on panel captures a candid moment of rural life. The composition masterfully uses light from a leaded window to illuminate the expressions of the family members as they inspect a length of fine fabric. Wilkie's signature attention to detail in the textures of the cottage interior and the characterful faces provides a window into 19th-century domesticity.
