A Young Teacher by Rebecca Solomon tells a story of gender, race, religion and wealth in mid-19th century London. Solomon's work shone a light on inequality and prejudice but was long overlooked in the canon of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. 🖼️ Co-acquired with Tate, the piece portrays a scene between an Ayah and the two young children in her care. The story of Travelling Ayahs is explored in our new period room, A Townhouse in 1878, where the painting will be installed this week, becoming part of a typical display of domestic art in a Victorian home while standing out for its rare subject matter. 👁️ You may recognise the painting from its current home in Tate Britain's Pre-Raphaelite gallery and the recent exhibition, Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920. 📆 On display from 5 November | Free entry Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm. 📍Rooms Through Time . . Want to dig deeper? The stories, themes and research behind the painting will be unpacked next Thursday 7 November at the Reframing Home: Race, Art and Empire symposium.
