Reproduction of a captivating oil-on-canvas portrait by Anglo-American painter Sir James Jebusa Shannon of two young children being read a bedtime story by their mother, or a nanny. Shannon's subjects are startlingly lifelike, almost photographic, but as Lewis Hind said of Shannon, he was also able to evoke 'the fleeting suggestion of a beautiful soul shining forth from the eyes'. And nowhere is that more apparent than in the bright blue gaze of the young girl with the auburn hair, who is staring right at the viewer quite unselfconciously, with the same blue tone echoed beautifully in the surrounding wallpaper and patterned velvet throw. A remarkable work.
