"A New Friend" is a painting by Sophie Gengembre Anderson, a French-born British artist known for her genre paintings that often feature children and women, characterized by their detailed depiction and vibrant use of color. Born in 1823 in Paris, Anderson's work is associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, although she was not formally a member. Her paintings typically capture the innocence of childhood and the beauty of nature, themes that are also evident in "A New Friend."

The painting "A New Friend" is emblematic of Anderson's style, showcasing her skill in rendering the delicate interplay of light and texture, as well as her ability to convey narrative and emotion through her subjects. The artwork features a young girl in a natural setting, engaged in a moment of discovery with an animal, which is a common motif in Anderson's oeuvre. The interaction between the child and the creature suggests themes of companionship, curiosity, and the bond between humans and nature.

While the exact date of creation for "A New Friend" is not well-documented, it is likely from the mid to late 19th century, a period during which Anderson produced many of her most recognized works. The painting's current location, ownership, and exhibition history are not widely recorded, which is not uncommon for works by female artists of the era, whose contributions have historically been underrepresented in art historical discourse.

Sophie Gengembre Anderson's work has seen a resurgence of interest in recent years, with "A New Friend" being appreciated for its aesthetic qualities as well as its cultural significance. The painting is representative of Anderson's contribution to Victorian art and the broader narrative of women artists in the 19th century. As with many of her pieces, "A New Friend" is appreciated not only for its visual appeal but also for its embodiment of the era's social values and the artist's personal artistic journey.
