Légende

The Hour-Glass - painted by H. Le Jeune, 1850. Exhibition of the British Institution. '...two children are curiously watching the sand passing through an hour-glass - that homely measurer of time, formerly common in our homes, frequently placed upon pulpits in churches, but now rarely seen save in cottages and rural districts. There is the genuine curiosity of childhood cleverly expressed in each set of features in the picture: they heed not the book before them, but are wonderstruck with the great problem of the running of "the sand of life". From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
