Caption

The Child's Prayer - painted by R. Redgrave, A.R.A., 1850. '[This] impressively devotional picture...is one of Mr. Redgrave's four contributions to the Royal Academy Exhibition [in London]: 493. [in the catalogue]. "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast Thou perfected praise". St. Matthew, xxi, v. 16. This is a very interesting portraiture of simplicity and purity; the devotional feeling of the child, and the no less devotional solicitude of the mother, who is teaching her little one "how to pray", are very characteristic'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
