Edwin Thomas Roberts painted small domestic moments — a kettle on the boil, a child in new shoes — and that kind of everyday storytelling carries beautifully into counted cross stitch.
He was a British painter, born in 1840 and died in 1917, working through the decades when Victorian audiences wanted pictures they could read like short stories. Titles such as New Shoes, To Market to Buy a Fat Pig and The Jolly Anglers give a fair sense of where his interests lay. Beyond the paintings themselves, he is not a name the art histories say much about.
Other nineteenth-century painters: Ludwig Knaus, Albert Lynch, Barabas Miklos, and Charles Joshua Chaplin.
If it is the painting itself you love rather than the stitching, Edwin Thomas Roberts art prints are easy to find.
