EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil painting, titled "Oranges and Lemons," captures the innocence and joy of five Victorian children engaged in a lively game in a cozy domestic interior. Painted by Harry Brooker in 1890, the work showcases the artist's exceptional use of oil paint and attention to detail. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, stand around a low table spread with an array of oranges and lemons. One child holds a wooden toy mallet, ready to tap the fruit, while another reaches out to grab an orange. The vibrant colors of the oranges and lemons contrast beautifully with the muted browns of the floorboards and the moulded leaf corner decorations of the picture frame. The painting is housed in a reproduction frame, crafted in 1977, which adds an elegant touch to the artwork. The signature of the artist, "Harry Brooker," is visible in the lower right corner, adding authenticity and provenance to the piece. This charming painting offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when children's games brought joy and laughter to everyday life.
