- Brief description
- Watercolour of the Old Curiosity Shop by George Cattermole, 1840
- Label
- This watercolour by George Cattermole illustrates a passage from 'The Old Curiosity Shop', a novel by Charles Dickens serialised in 'Master Humphrey's Clock' from 1840 to 1841. The composition is based on an engraving from the original series, produced by the same artist, where Nell is depicted with her grandfather in her home. This painting was owned by Dickens, and possibly commissioned by him, from 1842 and stayed in his possession until his death in 1870.
