Expectation is a painting by the British artist George Goodwin Kilburne, a prominent figure in the Victorian art scene known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the subtleties of domestic life. Kilburne, born in 1839 and active until his death in 1924, was renowned for his genre paintings, which often depicted scenes of everyday life with a particular focus on the middle and upper classes. His works are characterized by their fine brushwork, vibrant colors, and the intricate rendering of textures and materials.

Expectation is a quintessential example of Kilburne's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in portraying the nuanced emotions and interactions of his subjects. The painting typically features a young woman, elegantly dressed, waiting with a sense of anticipation. The setting is often a well-appointed interior, reflecting the Victorian fascination with domesticity and the idealized home. Kilburne's attention to detail is evident in the careful depiction of the furnishings, fabrics, and other elements of the room, which serve to enhance the narrative quality of the scene.

The theme of expectation or waiting is a common motif in Victorian art, reflecting broader societal themes such as the roles and experiences of women, the passage of time, and the nature of human relationships. Kilburne's treatment of this theme is both sensitive and evocative, inviting viewers to ponder the story behind the scene and the emotions of the subject.

Kilburne's work, including Expectation, remains appreciated for its technical excellence and its ability to capture the essence of Victorian life. His paintings are held in various private collections and public institutions, continuing to be studied and admired for their contribution to the genre of Victorian domestic painting.
