The Morning Lesson (1882). Norman Garstin (Irish, 1847-1926). Oil on canvas.Caroline Fox has explained Garstin’s lack of success (which now seems so difficult to understand) thus ‘Garstin… created a great sense of space and depth using the simplest of means. It is not surprising, however, that to many Victorian patrons accustomed to highly finished academic paintings, Garstin’s panels may have appeared as mere sketches and were therefore not saleable.’ -- source link
