EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite oil painting titled "A Child of Paul Sandby" by William Beechey. The artwork, measuring 24.1x19.7 cm, is housed in the Nottingham City Museums and Galleries at Nottingham Castle. In this tender depiction, a baby girl peacefully rests against a soft white pillow while adorned in a delicate white bonnet and dress. A luxurious white sheet with golden tassels partially covers her tiny form, adding an air of elegance to the scene. The focal point of the painting lies in the top right corner where three angelic figures or cherubim hover on a cloud tinged with shades of pink. These golden-haired beings don diaphanous robes that seem to float ethereally around them. The central angel gazes down upon the child with clasped hands raised as if engaged in prayer. Paul Sandby, renowned for his cartography skills before transitioning into landscape painting, was not only an esteemed artist but also one of the founding members of the Royal Academy alongside his brother Thomas Sandby. Through this enchanting composition, Beechey captures both innocence and divine protection surrounding this slumbering infant. It is a testament to artistic mastery and serves as a timeless reminder of love's watchful presence over our little ones.
