Painted in 1873, 'This is our Corner' captures his two daughters, Anna and Laurence, within the private sphere of their home. The composition is intimate and quiet, moving away from the grand historical narratives that defined much of his professional output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting features one daughter standing in the foreground, clutching a book, while the other reclines on a cushioned bench in the background, absorbed in reading. The lighting is soft, drawing attention to the textures of the girls' clothing and the woven furniture. Alma-Tadema employs a muted palette, allowing the focus to remain on the relaxed postures and the gentle expressions of the children. The background contains subtle decorative elements, hinting at the artist's interest in interior design and the aesthetic movements of the late Victorian era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his large-scale canvases depicting Roman scenes, this piece demonstrates his ability to render personal subjects with the same technical precision. The brushwork is controlled, capturing the play of light across the fabric and the striped floor covering. It provides a window into the daily habits of a family living in London during the 1870s. The work remains a fine example of the artist's versatility, showing his capacity to balance technical rigour with a tender, observational approach to his own household. The painting is a study of childhood stillness, reflecting the quiet moments of domesticity that existed alongside his more public artistic career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/rocas-porfidos-del-tepeyac-jose-maria-velasco\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRocas (Pórfidos del Tepeyac) - José María Velasco — José María Velasco\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/male-nude-edgar-degas\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMale Nude - Edgar Degas — Edgar Degas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573823574351,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573825114447,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573825147215,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573825179983,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573825212751,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573825245519,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573825278287,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573825311055,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573825343823,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573825376591,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573825409359,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573825442127,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/This-is-our-Corner_Poster_CompositorV1_1787793091318.jpg?v=1787793316","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/this-is-our-corner-sir-lawrence-alma-tadema","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
