"His Only" is a poignant and evocative painting by the Scottish artist Thomas Faed, created in 1866. Faed, renowned for his ability to capture the essence of Victorian life and sentiment, delivers a compelling narrative through this artwork, which is often regarded as one of his masterpieces. The painting is a quintessential example of Victorian genre painting, a style that Faed mastered, depicting scenes of everyday life imbued with emotional depth and social commentary.

The composition of "His Only" centers around a touching scene of familial devotion and loss. It portrays an elderly man, presumably a grandfather, tenderly holding a young child, his only remaining family member. The expressions and body language of the figures convey a profound sense of love, protection, and melancholy, reflecting the themes of mortality and the enduring bonds of family. The detailed rendering of the characters' faces and the careful attention to the textures of their clothing and surroundings demonstrate Faed's technical skill and his ability to evoke empathy in the viewer.

Faed's use of light and shadow in "His Only" enhances the emotional impact of the scene. The soft, diffused light that bathes the figures creates a warm, intimate atmosphere, while the darker background elements suggest a world beyond their immediate, tender moment, hinting at the hardships they may have faced. This interplay of light and shadow not only adds to the visual appeal of the painting but also underscores the themes of hope and resilience amidst adversity.

"His Only" was well-received in its time, resonating with the Victorian audience's sensibilities and their appreciation for narrative art that reflected their own societal values and experiences. Today, the painting remains a significant work in Faed's oeuvre, celebrated for its emotional depth, technical excellence, and its ability to capture the universal themes of love, loss, and the human condition.
