The Flower Girl. From an Original Picture by Murillo in the Dulwich Gallery.
Drawn, Engraved & Published by R. Cockburn, Dulwich.
Lithograph with fine colour, rare. Sheet 280 x 240 (11 x 9½"), mounted on card now separate, with printed label on reverse, with title and artist in old ink mss.
It has been suggested that the girl is Murillo's only daughter, Francisca María (1655-1710), who was born deaf and entered a Dominican convent aged 16. Ralph Cockburn, keeper of the Dulwich Picture Gallery, published a collection of aquatints of popular paintings in the collection. This plate seems to have been issued as a separate print as it is reviewed individually, rather than as part of a set, in the Annals of Fine Arts vol 1. 1817. The review describes Cockburn as 'a painter of watercolours with no small talents, and holds the place of Keeper of the Dulwich Gallery. He has therefore ample time for study, and there would bo no excuse for an indifferent print from his hand, This should be more esteemed as an imitation of a drawing, than a specimen of fine engraving; for it is executed in the soft ground style of etching, mounted and coloured after the manner of Mr. Westall, till scarcely any of the engraving appears'.
