EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fishergirl and child" by Robert Jobling showcases a heartwarming scene that captures the essence of Victorian sentimentality. In this idyllic portrayal, a fishergirl lovingly prepares to give a small child a piggy-back ride, evoking feelings of innocence and joy. The Victorians were known for their fascination with sentimental pictures like this one, which offered an idealized view of the lives of impoverished working people. Despite their challenging circumstances, the fishergirl appears carefree and playful while the little girl is well-nourished and immaculately clean. This painting presents an artificial representation of reality, aiming to evoke emotions rather than depict actual living conditions. Believed to be set near Cullercoats fishing village, where Jobling frequently drew inspiration from, this artwork highlights his significant contribution to early 20th-century North East art. The renowned artist beautifully captured scenes from everyday life in his region. Displayed at South Shields Museum & Art Gallery in South Shields, UK, this oil on canvas painting measures 90.5x139.0 cm. Its inclusion in eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums reflects its historical significance as part of English heritage.
