Description
Girl with Dogs by Charles Burton Barber (1845-1894) from the Lady Lever Art Gallery collection.
Charles Burton Barber was born in Great Yarmouth entering the Royal Academy when he was 18. He particularly liked painting landscapes of the natural world featuring stags.
Many child and dog paintings were produced by Barber towards the end of his life to support his family; they were very popular with the dealers and were often produced as chromolithographs. His patrons included Queen Victoria for whom he painted many of her pets and a portrait of her upon her horse with John Brown holding the reins.
This work from 1893 was used in an advertisement for ‘Sunlight’ soap. The painting was re-named ‘The Family Wash’ and the chair was replaced by a pack of ‘Sunlight’ soap.
