Liberty & Captivity. Proof.
Painted by Fanny Mc.Ian. Engraved by C.W. Wass.
London Published Feb.y 1st 1852 by T. Boys, 467 Oxford Street. _ Paris E, Gambart & Co., 9 rue d'Orleans ay Marais deposé.
Mezzotint. 680 x 550mm (26¾ x 21¾"). Some spotting and creasing, crack in bottom platemark.
A family in a prison cell, a suckling mother looking enviously at the house martins that have built a nest in the window. As the artist specialised in Scottish historical scenes it is likely that this depicts the family of a Jacobite. The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy. Frances Matilda "Fanny" McIan (c.1814-1897) was the first superintendent of London's Female School of Design, which was launched in 1842 to train women for industrial roles like porcelain painters. McIan expanded the curriculum to include more fine arts subjects, like oil painting and wood engraving, and was chastised for allowing her students to draw nude models.
