"The Governess" is an oil on canvas painting by British artist Emily Mary Osborn, created in 1855. This work is notable for its social commentary on the precarious position and emotional challenges faced by governesses in Victorian England. The painting depicts a young governess seated at a table, surrounded by her charges who are engaged in various activities. Her expression conveys a sense of isolation and resignation, highlighting the loneliness and marginalization experienced by women in this profession.

Osborn, a prominent member of the pre-Raphaelite circle, was known for her detailed and empathetic portrayal of women's lives. "The Governess" is a prime example of her commitment to exploring the social issues of her time through art. The painting's meticulous attention to detail, from the furnishings to the costumes, enhances its narrative power and provides a window into the domestic interiors of the period.

The work gained significant attention when it was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1855. It was praised for its technical skill and its poignant exploration of the governess's plight—a topic that resonated with contemporary audiences and reflected the broader Victorian discourse on gender roles and employment.

"The Governess" has been analyzed by art historians as an important feminist work that challenges the viewer to consider the limited opportunities available to women in the 19th century. It remains a significant piece in the study of Victorian art and gender studies, offering insight into the complexities of women's work and social status during this era. The painting is held in a private collection, but its impact continues to be felt through reproductions and scholarly discussions.
