A 1788 oil on canvas painting, *The Age of Innocence*, by Joshua Reynolds (1723-92). The painting reflected a wider movement in the arts where artists were concerned with capturing the innocence of childhood, something which had been threatened by the social impact of the [Industrial Revolution](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Industrial_Revolution/).
