Sitting by the fire, Grandfather listens quietly to his granddaughter intently reading out loud. He has a kindly smile on his face. Is he smiling at the story or at the reading of it?

His dog lies calmly beside the chair. The dog is enjoying the fire and the company. It is possible that the dog is also enjoying the story.

Grandfather has lots of books on his fireplace mantle. They're visible in the background. His pride in his granddaughter's reading is obvious. This is clearly a family of readers.

During this era, children had to entertain themselves. Reading was just one method, but it was no doubt the most rewarding intellectually.

Both Granddaughter and Grandfather were enriched by this time together.

An excellent piece of art to remind us of just how valuable time is together as a family.
