Editor: Here we have a lovely, intimate drawing by Elizabeth Rigby, from the 1800s, it seems, held in the Tate Collection. It depicts a sleeping child. The softness of the medium evokes a peaceful mood. What do you make of this tender portrait? Curator: It whispers to me of quiet observation, a mother perhaps, capturing a fleeting moment of serenity. Notice how the delicate lines around the hair create a sense of movement, even in slumber. Isn’t it interesting how much emotion can be conveyed with so little? It's like Rigby is inviting us to share in this private, loving gaze. Editor: It definitely feels very personal and observational. Thank you for sharing!
