A charming late 19th-century genre oil painting depicting an elderly woman playfully startling a crying child. Signed C. L. Furman and dated 1895, this intimate composition exemplifies the humorous narrative scenes that were popular during the Victorian era. Rich, muted colors and expressive facial features give the painting warmth and personality. The work is housed in its original carved gilt wood frame, complementing its antique character. An appealing piece for collectors of Victorian, folk, or European-inspired genre paintings.
