拍品專文

Jane, known as 'Jennie' was the youngest of John Frederick Herring's six children. As a young woman she featured as a model in numerous works by her father. The present work was painted in 1849 when Jennie would have been sixteen years old and the family were still based at 9 Cottage Green, Camberwell. It was not until 1854 that Herring moved to Meopham Park, Tunbridge, in Kent.
