The Kitchen at Aynhoe, 3rd February 1847
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of daily life in a Victorian country house. This exquisite watercolor on paper transports us back to the bustling atmosphere of the kitchen, where maidservants diligently prepare food for the household. The scene is filled with activity as we witness the cook tending to a hearth fire while expertly handling game meat, possibly a hare. The maid beside her attentively assists in this culinary endeavor. The rustic charm of the kitchen is enhanced by the presence of an old-fashioned dresser and various utensils hanging from its shelves. This painting offers us a glimpse into the world below stairs, where dedicated servants worked tirelessly to ensure that meals were prepared flawlessly for their aristocratic employers. It captures not only their hard work but also their camaraderie and sense of playfulness during breaks from their duties. The setting itself adds to the allure of this artwork – Aynhoe Park, known for its grandeur and stately beauty. The park's serene surroundings can be seen through an open window, contrasting with the lively energy within. Lili Cartwright's masterful brushstrokes bring this historical moment vividly to life, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such detailed scenes and gain insight into domestic life during this era. "The Kitchen at Aynhoe" serves as a testament to the dedication and skill required by those who served behind closed doors in grand country houses like Aynhoe
