Project or Exhibition: Visual Description Project
An oil painting depicts an exterior Victorian Gothic scene ca. 18th century. In the foreground are two prominent sandy stone courtyard walls, in front of which a family is beginning to gather for a lavish meal of seafood. Before the right partition of wall, the mother wears a short-sleeved Victorian black dress with crisp white apron skirt and red pumps as she places a vibrant lobster tail tower entree onto the center of the round table. She looks resigned and impatient with her dark hair frazzled and sticking diagonally out from her head. With her, a young boy in short pants, leans head-on-hand on the table still dressed from play with a paper hat, kerchief, and belted sword looking petulant. Leaning against the partial wall on the left with arms pressed back is a barefoot young girl with dark bobbed hair in a soft pink dress that matches the blooms on the surrounding rose vines on the courtyard walls. Between the girl and table, a five-pound black poodle, with lacey collar lies on ground in anticipation of scraps. In the background are dark buildings with chimneys and windows, creating an ominous skyline, with shadowy figures peering out, and include half of a man in tails. The overall effect is quite moody and a bit macabre, with a strong narrative quality.
