The Child's Prayer - painted by R. Redgrave, , 1850. '[This] impressively devotional one of Mr. Redgrave's four contributions to the Royal Academy Exhibition [in London]: 493. [in the catalogue]. "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast Thou perfected praise". St. Matthew, xxi, v. 16. This is a very interesting portraiture of simplicity and purity; the devotional feeling of the child, and the no less devotional solicitude of the mother, who is teaching her little one "how to pray", are very characteristic'.
