Adoration of the Eternal Father

Executed in watercolour, the work exhibits muted tones punctuated by gold, pink, and blue accents. The style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, evident in the intricate patterns on clothing and backgrounds, reflecting both the original tapestry's era and Hunter's faithful replication technique.

Discovered in storage in 1933, the drawing was likely produced for a V&A exhibition of J. Pierpont Morgan’s collection. Blanche F. Hunter, often in collaboration with her sister Ada, created similar watercolour copies and hand-coloured photographs for the museum between the 1890s and 1900s.

This work is part of a collection of reproductions and photographs created by the Hunter sisters to complement textile fragments in the V&A's Textiles and Fashion collection, serving as an example of early 20th-century museum practices in replicating and preserving historical textiles.
