Humble Fare - painted by J. J. Hill, H. Bright, and Earl - from the Flatou Collection, 1858. Engraving after a painting. 'This is another selection from Mr. Flatou's exhibition, and a more thoroughly English landscape and English group, and one more unaffectedly put upon canvas, we have seldom met with...The site-a delightful bit of wild heath country, charmingly hit off by H. Bright - is evidently copied from some favourite nook at Hampstead; the donkey is...indeed, a spoiled donkey, and dainty at his food. A young lassy, with whom he is evidently a favourite, brings him an apronful of wild fodder which she has just been gathering for him - "humble fare," 'tis true, but wholesome - and, with pretty smiling face, looks on with intent delight as he sniffs and nibbles at it. Close beside her is a young goat, who puts in a claim to some portion of her succulent store. This happy little group is seen under a clear bright atmosphere, giving the colouring a remarkably pure and healthy tone'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
