Original Description
Sir Hubert von Herkomer’s A New Favourite (1889) is a poignant portrayal of Victorian sentimentality, capturing a tender moment between an elderly man and his small dog. The painting exudes warmth and intimacy, with soft light bathing the figures against a subdued background—a hallmark of Herkomer’s realist yet emotive style. Herkomer, a German-born British artist, was celebrated for his narrative depth and technical mastery, blending academic precision with subtle impressionistic touches. As a leading figure in late 19th-century British art, he bridged tradition and modernity, influencing the Newlyn School and social realism. A New Favourite reflects his skill in conveying human connection, positioning it as a lesser-known gem deserving broader recognition in art history’s discourse on genre painting.
For display, this artwork suits a tranquil domestic space like a study or reading nook, where its contemplative mood can shine. Its muted earth tones—ochres, browns, and soft grays—pair well with traditional or transitional decor, complemented by wooden furniture and textured fabrics like wool or linen. Opt for a modestly ornate gold or walnut frame to enhance its Victorian roots without overpowering. Given its likely mid-sized dimensions (typical of Herkomer’s interior scenes), hang it at eye level above a side table or bookshelf to create an inviting focal point. In an office, it could inspire calm in softer-lit areas, balanced with neutral walls and sparse, elegant accessories to let its emotional resonance take center stage.
