Description: | The mother and daughter in this scene are farm labourers, who have to travel around to find work. The hem of the woman's skirt is stained with dirt from her journey. The edge of a light-coloured blanket on her lap suggests that she is holding a baby under her shawl. Many artists in the late 19th century became interested in showing the harsh lives of working people. This picture may show a North East family, as it was painted after Arthur Marsh began making frequent long visits to Cullercoats, near Tynemouth. He lived in the North East from 1882. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement work artists living in the North East watercolours art North East artists children women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
