EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming color lithograph, artist Charles Edmund Brock captures a tender moment between Sir Thomas More and his daughter Bess. The scene is taken from Anne Manning's novel "The Household of Sir Thomas More" published in 1909. Bess, portrayed with innocence and curiosity, leans over her father's bed to inquire if he is asleep. Brock's attention to detail brings the characters to life, as we see the gentle expression on Sir Thomas More's face as he gazes at his beloved daughter. The soft colors used in the lithograph create a warm and intimate atmosphere, adding depth to their relationship. This print serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of family bonds and the love shared between parent and child. It invites us to reflect on our own relationships and cherish those special moments that make up our lives. Displayed in private collections around the world, this artwork by Charles Edmund Brock continues to captivate viewers with its emotional resonance. Whether you are familiar with Manning's novel or not, this image speaks volumes about the universal themes of love, connection, and familial devotion that transcend time. As we gaze upon this beautiful print from Fine Art Finder through Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as a reminder of the power of art to evoke emotions and transport us into different worlds – even if just for a fleeting moment.
