Ich erinnere mich, dass ich das überall in Seniorenheimen in Donegal gesehen habe.
Es zeigte ein kleines weinendes Mädchen mit dem Gesicht zur Wand, dicht hinter ihr ein Hund. Es sieht aus, als wäre es von Charles Burton Barber, aber mich interessiert mehr, warum es überall war. Erinnern sich andere Menschen daran, dass sie in den Häusern der Menschen hängen? Warum war es so weit verbreitet?

There used to be a picture of a Girl Crying at my Uncle’s House…Really freaked me out as a Kid.
Not this but I remember the pair of pictures, a crying girl in one, a crying girl in the other.
Crying boy picture and crying girl picture together was meant to be cursed or some crazy shit. I mind when I was young my dad burning them in the back garden when he heard this.
Freemasons. Gnosis symbols all over it.
We had this picture in our sitting room. I have no idea why.
Edit: Charles Burton Barber was a favourite painter of queen Victoria, and in the 1980s there was a big revival of Victorian art (also clothes etc, hence the popularity of Laura Ashley and chintz)
This picture was the best selling print in 1983.
Someone else was wondering about that yoke.

I think it’s just a relatable image that also looks sort of posh. Middle aged women like that sort of thing.
