Hugh and Florence, Ashford 1848

Elizabeth Murray's watercolor painting, *Hugh and Florence, Ashford* (1848), captures a tender domestic scene. The work depicts a woman seated in a chair, holding a young girl in her lap while another child reaches out to them from the side. The scene is rendered in a soft and delicate style, with subtle washes of color used to depict the clothing and figures. This painting is a touching example of 19th-century portraiture, offering a glimpse into the lives of a family in the Victorian era.
