EDITORS COMMENTS
This unfinished watercolour sketch, titled 'Dining Room, New College Lane, Oxford,' captures a moment of domestic tranquility in the home of Reverend Baden Powell, mother of the renowned founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell. Painted by his mother, Henrietta Grace Smyth (nee Baden Powell), in the early 1850s, the scene depicts a comfortable dining room with a mother and her children seated around a large, round table. The room is adorned with Victorian-era furniture, including a comfortable armchair and a foot stool, and a bay window with curtains that allow natural light to filter in. The Rev. Baden Powell's interest in astronomy is evident in the room, as a globe sits prominently on a table, and a telescope can be seen peeking out from behind a chair. The family appears to be in a state of relaxed enjoyment, with the children gazing intently at something on the table and the mother looking off into the distance, perhaps lost in thought. The unfinished nature of the sketch adds to its charm, giving the viewer a glimpse into the private world of the Baden Powell family. The scene takes place in New College Lane, Oxford, a historic and prestigious location that would have been familiar to the family. The association between the Baden Powell name and Oxford would later become significant, as Robert would go on to study there and later found the Scout Movement, which would come to be known as the 'Oxford Movement.' This watercolour sketch serves as a poignant reminder of the family's early days in Oxford and the comfortable, loving home life that shaped the future leader of the Scouting movement.
