In the Victorian era, it was common for mothers to be depicted in portraits alongside their children, often in a way that blended them into the background or as part of the composition rather than as distinct figures. This artistic choice reflected societal norms that emphasized motherhood and the nurturing role of women, while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of self-sacrifice and subservience. Such portrayals allowed mothers to symbolically embody their children's identities, reinforcing the idea that their primary role was to support and nurture their offspring. Additionally, this practice mirrored the era's aesthetic preferences, favoring idealized and sentimental representations of family life.

Victorian children, often employed as chimney sweeps or in other low-paying jobs, frequently had to clean shoes as part of their duties. It was common for them to clean several pairs of shoes daily, sometimes up to 30 or more, depending on the demands of their employers. This task was a reflection of the harsh working conditions and the expectations placed on child laborers during the Victorian era.
