About Artwork: (ca. 1870) "The English-born Guy was celebrated in his lifetime for his appealing and technically accomplished paintings of childhood. Here, the artist has depicted his own children reading a version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." The young girl’s menacing bearlike shadow and the boys’ wide eyes suggest that they have reached the story’s frightening climax. In addition to the didactic message of the fairy tale—warning children not to wander from home—Guy has presented his adolescent daughter on the verge of change, turning away from childhood games and assuming a more adult, maternal role." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
