"Restored", by J. Clark, 1862. Engraving of a painting....what charming studies of character are this father and daughter, going perhaps to, or coming from, church! If one could not see her amiable face, you could tell that the daughter is a sweet, unaffected, good-natured girl...Then, look at her father; what worth, what genuine English bonhomie there is in his face! He is advancing in life; his hair is iron-grey; but his heart is, beyond all doubt, still soft as wax, and he bears it openly as the simple wheat-ears he has plucked and placed in the buttonholes of his coat. Why, there is a heedful benevolence in his very umbrella. So, of course, they go out of their way to enjoy the pleasure of restoring themselves the little wicked one to the nest from which it has hardly yet apparently been missed. And what a look of appeal is there in the child's eyes as her mother comes to her with outstretched arms! The kitten is still held too tightly to permit the recognition yet of its sniffing mother. The older stay-at-home boy is now in turn abashed by the unexpected visitors, and, clinging to his mother's skirt, refers also to his forefinger'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite engraving by J. Clark, originally a painting created in 1862, captures a heartwarming moment of family reunion. The father and his young daughter, adorned in their Sunday best, are depicted walking, likely on their way to or from church. The daughter's face radiates sweetness and good nature, while her father's expression reveals the depth of his love and warmth. His grey hair and kind eyes speak of a man who has lived a full life, yet remains gentle and compassionate. The father's umbrella, an accessory of the era, adds a charming detail to the scene, symbolizing his protective nature. The family's focus is on restoring a wayward kitten to its home, as the mother reaches out to embrace her child and the kitten, still held tightly by the older brother. The younger brother, seemingly embarrassed by the unexpected encounter, clings to his mother's skirt. The connection between the family members is palpable, and their shared love and concern for each other is evident in their expressions and body language. This timeless image, captured in the mid-19th century, continues to resonate with viewers and evoke feelings of warmth, love, and the enduring bond of family.
