The Governess (exhibited RA 1854). Rebecca Solomon (English, 1832-1886). Oil on canvas.Subtitled: "Ye too, the friendless, yet dependent, that find nor home nor lover. Sad imprisoned hearts, captive to the net of circumstance.“ — Martin Tupper. The governess, attractive but plainly dressed in black, reads to her pupil, and her lot is contrasted with that of her mistress, clad in filmy pink, who plays the piano while her husband gazes adoringly at her. -- source link
