A Sick Call, from "Illustrated London News". Artist: After Matthew James Lawless (Irish, Dublin 1837-1864 London). Dimensions: Image: 6 3/4 × 11 11/16 in. (17.1 × 29.7 cm)Sheet: 7 1/16 in. × 12 in. (18 × 30.5 cm). Engraver: Horace Harral (British, 1817-1905). Date: July 25, 1863.A priest is rowed in a boat, accompanied by altar boys as a woman weeps next to the oarsman. The architecture indicates a setting in Belgium or northern Germany. Lawless was born in Dublin to a prosperous Roman Catholic family, traveled in France and the Low Countries, and was pursuing a promising London career when his life was cut short by tuberculosis in 1864. That makes the present subject a poignant one, since the prognosis does not seem hopeful for the patient to whose bed the religious figures are travelling-an unhappy outcome indicated by a dimly lit lamp, broken reed in the foreground, and sickle that rest on the stern. The full title of Lawless's related painting of 1863, now National Gallery of Ire
