"On Thoughts of Charity Intent", by Miss E. Brownlow - from the Female Artists' Exhibition, 1864. A '...charming little picture, very effectively painted by Miss Emma Brownlow...It is particularly to be observed that the Norman or Breton peasant girl...is a very young and a very little personage. We may see, as she stands in her thick wooden sabots, that her quaint white cap rises hardly above the poor-box into which bigger folk drop their alms in passing, and that the great hinge of the church door is nearly half as tall as she is; but these are the only objects with which her height is to be measured. It is the more essential to remark the juvenility of the little maiden, because her cap - to English eyes an old-fashioned one - her womanly dress and housewifely pocket, her kindly thoughtfulness - feeling, as she does, for perhaps her only sou or liard - seem all beyond her years. It is understood that our little heroine has gone to matins or to mass, or to say her prayers to the Virgin in some quiet side-chapel, all alone; and, as she leaves the house of God, this little Christian "remembers the poor." Examples for so doing she has had in plenty. Our Roman Catholic neighbours do not let the spider's web form over the hole of the poor-box'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
