Girl with Chalk and Slate — Henry John Terry (1818–1880), Watercolour on Paper
This charming watercolour by Henry John Terry (1818–1880) depicts a young girl seated with a slate and chalk, captured in a quiet moment of childhood reflection. Terry was known for his sensitive portrayals of domestic and youthful subjects, and here he combines gentle expression with careful attention to costume and setting. The soft palette and fine brushwork typify mid-19th-century English watercolour practice, conveying both delicacy and narrative warmth. The work is signed lower right and presented in a later, well-chosen decorative frame that enhances its period character.
The watercolour is in good overall condition for its age, with light, even toning to the paper and minor age-related marks consistent with 19th-century works on paper. No visible tears or major losses observed. The later frame is in very good decorative order with only light surface wear. Ready to hang. Please refer to photographs as part of the condition description.
