"Contemplation" is a painting by the British artist Augustus Leopold Egg, who was an influential figure in the Victorian art scene. Born in 1816, Egg was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848 that aimed to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Egg's works often reflect the social issues and moral dilemmas of his time, and "Contemplation" is no exception.

Created in the mid-19th century, "Contemplation" exemplifies Egg's skill in narrative painting, a genre that tells a story through its imagery. The painting depicts a solitary figure, typically a woman, in a moment of deep thought or reflection. The setting is often an interior space, richly detailed to enhance the mood of introspection. The use of light and shadow in the painting is particularly noteworthy, as it draws attention to the subject's expression and body language, inviting viewers to ponder the nature of her thoughts.

Egg's attention to detail and his ability to convey complex emotional states through his subjects are hallmarks of his style. "Contemplation" is a testament to his mastery of these techniques. The painting also reflects the Victorian era's fascination with themes of morality, introspection, and the inner lives of individuals, particularly women.

While "Contemplation" may not be as widely known as some of Egg's other works, such as his triptych "Past and Present," it remains an important piece within his oeuvre. It offers insight into the artist's thematic preoccupations and his contributions to the narrative art tradition. Through "Contemplation," Egg invites viewers to engage with the silent, yet profound, moments of human experience.
