John Scarlet Davies - The Housekeeper, c.1858

  1. A sensitive work.

    It reminds me of a whole genre of Victorian paintings where a well bred young woman has to earn a living (for one reason or another) and has to become a tutor or housekeeper. She looks well groomed and interested in the book, but a bit lonely.

  2. Not common to feature the house keeper but you're right it must have been a lonely position twixt top nor bottom.

  3. Hi all...

    Very good information you have created. Housekeeper is a person who is hired to provide professional domestic services such as cleaning, laundry, and sometimes cooking and errands. Thanks a lot for sharing with us...
