The Last Day in the Old Home is an oil-on-canvas painting made in 1862 by English painter Robert Braithwaite Martineau.

The paintings and other contents are labelled ready for an auction sale on 22 October 1850, with a Christie's catalogue on the floor in the lower right corner.

Sir Charles Pulleyne, Bt, takes events in his stride, raising a glass of champagne with his young son, but his wife and daughter are more apprehensive.

The family is reaching the end of its viability: inside, the fire burns low in the grate; outside, the trees show it is the autumn.

Sir Charles Pulleyne is based on Colonel John Leslie Toke (1839–1911), a friend of Martineau, who inherited the house in 1866 but sold it less than 30 years later.
