Mrs. Dobie and her daughter Barbara before 1896

"Mrs. Dobie and her daughter Barbara" is a portrait created by an anonymous artist before 1896. The artwork depicts a mother and her young daughter posed together. The mother is dressed in a dark, richly adorned gown, possibly indicative of her social status. Her daughter stands beside her, holding her hands and looking directly at the viewer. The image suggests a loving and protective bond between the two. The composition, which is likely a copy of a larger, earlier painting, is executed in a traditional portrait style. Despite the unknown artist, the work offers a glimpse into the lives of a family in the late 19th century.
