"The Cut Finger" is an engraving created by the artist Joly, based on a painting by the renowned Scottish painter Sir David Wilkie, dating from around 1830 to 1840. The original painting by Wilkie, which served as the inspiration for Joly's engraving, depicted a domestic scene, a genre for which Wilkie was particularly celebrated. The scene typically captures a moment of everyday life, in this case, a child who has suffered a minor injury, the cut finger, being comforted by family members. This subject is emblematic of Wilkie's attention to the emotional and narrative aspects of ordinary life, often imbued with a sense of warmth and compassion.

Sir David Wilkie (1785–1841) was a prominent figure in British art, known for his genre paintings that often portrayed scenes of social and rural life with a keen eye for detail and character. His works were widely appreciated for their storytelling quality and their ability to capture the nuances of human expression and interaction. The engraving by Joly, whose full name and biographical details are less documented, reflects the practice of the period where printmakers would create engravings of popular paintings, thereby making them accessible to a broader audience. These engravings were important in disseminating the works of artists like Wilkie to the public and contributed to the artist's fame and the era's visual culture.

"The Cut Finger" engraving by Joly is a testament to the collaborative nature of art production in the 19th century and stands as a representation of Wilkie's influence on Victorian art and society. It is a work that not only showcases the technical skill of the engraver but also preserves the sentimental and narrative charm of Wilkie's original painting. While the engraving itself may not be as widely known as Wilkie's most famous works, it remains a valuable piece within the context of the history of printmaking and the dissemination of genre art in the 19th century.
