English-born artist Guy settled in New York City in 1854. In this lively domestic scene, commissioned by the financier Robert Gordon, three children vie for a small corsage while a fourth seeks comfort in her mother’s lap. A founding trustee of The Met, Gordon collected American paintings, including contemporary landscapes, which he displayed in the dining room of his home at 7 West 33rd Street, depicted here. The furnishings conform to the fashionable Renaissance Revival style. The elaborately carved sideboard resembles an example by Alexander Roux on display in this gallery.
