Description: | This is a large and important example of Dorothea Sharp's paintings, which often showed children outlined against the sky. Bright colours and blue shading in this picture reproduce the effect of the sun on the children's faces and the surrounding landscape. The children are dressed in the fashions of the early years of the 20th century. The artist has used small brushstrokes of different colours to paint the flowers amongst the grass, using a style sometimes known as British Impressionist. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1916 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Dorothea Sharp | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
