MWW Artwork of the Day (12/12/22) William Morris Hunt (American, 1824–1879) Girl Reading (1853) Oil on canvas, 54.6 x 40.6 cm. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts

“Girl Reading,” a quiet image of a teenaged girl seated in a dark interior studying a book, was inspired by Millet’s paintings of young French peasant women sewing or spinning by lamplight. In those pictures, the women are working at domestic tasks after a long day of working in the fields or tending their flocks. Millet’s humane naturalism elicits the viewer’s sympathy. In Hunt’s painting, the warm light, soft paint handling, and delicate, subdued colors similarly indicate the artist’s affection for his subject. She, however, is clearly middle class. Hunt has transported Millet’s scene from a peasant’s humble cottage to an American parlor.

But these pre-raphaelite pieces are absolutely gorgeous and I’ve been waiting years to see them in person and I just want to share them with everyone xoxo

Let's play Name That William Morris!

The second photo has Strawberry Thief on the chair but I can't remember what the wallpaper is called. ETA: Oh apparently it's a Dearle fabric! (Still don't know the name.)

ETAA: According to The Victorian Web,

Diagonal Trail [was] designed in c. 1893 by John Henry Dearle or William Morris, 1860-1932 for Morris & Co. Woven silk and linen, 75 x 127.5 cm. (30 x 51 inches). Used by Morris on the walls of the Great Parlour at Wightwick Manor, Staffordshire.

According to the Art Institute of Chicago, it was designed by Dearle.

I believe the fourth photo has Snakeshead curtains and Fruit wallpaper.

The wallpaper in the last photo is Acanthus. What else?

Interiors of Wightwick Manor, Wolverhampton, built by Edward Ould for industrialist Theodore Mander in the 1880s and 1890s.
