This painting, titled The Smile, is by the English artist Thomas Webster (1800-1886) and is housed in The Guildhall Art Gallery in pictures are characterized by a geniality and quiet humor which made them exceedingly popular. He delighted in simple studies of familiar scenes, which he depicted without subtlety and in a manner that is especially pleasing to the English mind. Child life appealed to him very forcibly, and this again enabled him, by his paintings, to endear himself to the public. The Smile has a companion work titled The Frown.
