The Victor’s Wreath

George Goodwin Kilburne

1868

Watercolour and gouache on paper, dimensions unknown

Signed and dated “Kilburne 1868,” lower left.

Private collection.

This is a very atypical subject in Kilburne’s oeuvre because he is almost exclusively known for his domestic genre paintings of figures in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century century, generally featuring attractive young women.
