"Italian Mother and Child," by W. Sauchon [sic], 1871. Engraving of a painting '...by Herr Sauchon, a Prussian painter (not represented [in the International Exhibition] at Kensington), pupil of the great Düsseldorf school, who, like so many of his brethren, has travelled in Italy. We need hardly say that in this souvenir of South Italy he has rendered with feeling and taste, as well as perfect fidelity, the local type no less than the exceedingly picturesque Neapolitan female costume. The picture is engraved from E. Milster's fine series of photographs of paintings of the Berlin and Düsseldorf schools, published by the Berlin Photographic Company'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
