ABOUT THE ARTIST
Charles Burton Barber (1845-1894) was an English artist. This painting exemplifies the style of painting he become most well known for – portraits of children with their pets.
In this painting,  completed in 1894, we have a young blue-eyed blond girl in bed saying grace over her breakfast. A chair is positioned next to her bed. Her pet Jack Russell Terrier has found it the perfect perch for staring down the egg and toast on the little girl’s breakfast tray. A tiny tabby kitten sits on the other side of the praying child, partially under the sheets also staring down the food. The kitten and the dog are obviously both hoping to share the meal with their little mistress. Barber captures that moment of anticipation and suspense. Does the little girl share with her pets? Or does she shoo them both off the bed once her prayers are done?
