"The Child's Prayer", by H. Lejeune, from Mr. Morby's Collection, Royal Exchange... 1862. Creator: W Thomas. "The Child's Prayer", by H. Lejeune, from Mr. Morby's Collection, Royal Exchange... 1862. Creator: W Thomas
"The Child's Prayer", by H. Lejeune, from Mr. Morby's Collection, Royal Exchange Gallery, 24, Cornhill, 1862. Mr. Lejeune, one of our most graceful painters of domestic subjects, has, in the little picture which we engrave, produced a study full of truth and healthful touching interest. The face of the young lad, intent upon his morning devotions, beams with innocence and hopeful cheerfulness; and this one object is of itself so completely satisfactory as the subject for a picture that the artist has done right to treat the scene in which it is placed with the utmost simplicity. [The painting]...cannot fail to shine as a gem on the walls of the nursery, schoolroom, or boudoir in which it may be placed. It was purchased by Mr. Morby from the painter, but has since passed from his hands'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

The Child's Prayer,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating painting by H. Lejeune, showcases the innocence and purity of childhood as the young boy fervently prays in this beautiful work of art. Painted in 1862, Lejeune's masterpiece was once part of Mr. Morby's esteemed collection, housed in the Royal Exchange Gallery, London. The painting's simplicity is its greatest strength, allowing the viewer to focus solely on the radiant expression of the child, whose earnest gaze and hopeful countenance embody the very essence of faith. Lejeune, a renowned painter of domestic scenes, expertly captures the essence of a quiet, peaceful morning as the sun streams in through the window, casting a warm glow on the boy's face. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring the scene to life, inviting the viewer to share in the child's moment of spiritual reflection. The painting's enduring appeal is evident in its ability to resonate with audiences of all ages, making it a cherished addition to any home, be it a nursery, schoolroom, or personal boudoir. First acquired by Mr. Morby directly from the artist, this precious work of art has since passed from his possession, leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of art history. The Child's Prayer is a testament to the power of faith and the beauty of innocence, making it a must-see for anyone seeking a moment of reflection and inspiration. This enchanting painting continues to captivate and inspire viewers, reminding us of the simple joys and profound truths that lie at the heart of the human experience.
