I have been given a rather beautiful what I believe is a colortype (?) print of a painting called 'when did you last see your father' depicting a small boy being questioned by men sitting at a table in maybe 16th century dress - clearly very wealthy men and the boy though looking very vulnerable looks to be from a wealthy family judging by his dress - the frame now has fallen apart but by style would seem to have been done in the 19th century. I would like to know more about the artist and also whether it being a colortype print makes it more valuable?

Hercules Brabazon

The artist is William Frederick Yeames. The original painting is in the Walker Gallery Liverpool. More details here
