This is an example of a 19th century narrative painting. It speaks so well of all the women left at home, waiting for their sailor to return.
Many many songs were sung in this era about women pining for their men gone to sea. The songs are different today, but the longing is eternal. Original Painting by John George Brown (1879) |
