Painting: The Graham Children, 1742

This life-size portrait by William Hogarth shows the children of a prosperous apothecary in London. Students may look at it for a minute and try to remember as much as possible about people, animals, colours, toys, layout, costumes, architecture, etc... We can read some historical notes about fashion in 18th century England and comment on the baby boy being dressed in skirts. Students could guess the meaning of the still life, flowers and scythe at his feet: the child died before the painting was completed. The worksheet offers statistics of childhood mortality at that time and we can compare them with today's.
