Figure 1.--We do not know who was the painter, but he os obviously a competent artist. This lovely country scene looks to be a mother and her seven children who look like they are at a picnic. We would guess that this is English. It looks like it was painted in the 1840s. |
We do not know who was the painter, but he os obviously a competent artist. This lovely country scene looks to be a mother and her seven children who look like they are at a picnic. We would guess that this is English. It looks like it was painted in the 1840s. Some of the children are obviouslys boys or girls. We are noy sure about the youngest child in a blue dress. The two children on the ground to the left of the child that is standing look to be boys. One boy wears a black probably velvet jacket with a lace collar and grey pants. The other boy wears a red dress. There also appears to be a boy at te extremne left, but it is difficult to make out what he is wearing. The children seem to be making garlands of flowers. Not the farm worker in the background wearing a smock.
