The Virtuous Comforted by Sympathy and Attention
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that beautifully captures the essence of compassion and support in times of distress. Created by Valentine Green in 1775, this mezzotint print showcases an allegorical scene set within the intimate confines of a bedroom. In this thought-provoking image, we see a troubled woman seated on a chair, her face reflecting worry and concern. Beside her stands a domestic servant, personifying sympathy and attentiveness. The maid listens intently to the woman's worries while holding a sewing basket, symbolizing both practicality and care. This artwork serves as an allegory for the virtues of comfort and moral support during difficult times. It reminds us of the importance of empathy and understanding within our own lives. The composition invites viewers to reflect upon their own experiences with comforting others or being comforted themselves. Valentine Green's masterful engraving technique brings depth and emotion to each character depicted in this print. Published by R. Sayer and J. Bennet as part of a pair, it exemplifies Green's ability to convey complex emotions through his artistry. Displayed at The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London, UK, this print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless message about human connection and virtue.
