This is a really pretty example of the painter's use of light and technique to depict cottage life. It it currently framed and glazed and would benefit from reframing. 38.5cm x 26.7cm Carlton Alfred Smith was a painter, mainly in watercolour, of gentle rural genre scenes, including many of mothers and daughters. Carlton Alfred Smith was born in Camden Town, London, on 27 August 1853, the son of a steel engraver. He was educated in France, and then studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, winning gold and silver medals. Initially, he worked as a lithographer before turning to painting. He exhibited mainly at the Royal Society of British Artists (being elected a member in 1879), the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI 1889) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI 1890), and also at the Royal Academy of Arts.
