Description: | A study of two children, full length, holding hands, in a garden setting. The eldest, with short blonde curly hair and a rosy complexion is wearing a white mid-length, short-sleeved dress and dark shoes, looks at the viewer, but is turned towards the younger child. She wears a long blue dress and matching shoes; with one hand she clutches the hem of her dress.
Oil on canvas on panel fitted with oval spandrel (this has since been removed). Sir Charles Rich (donor's husband d. <1935) 'descended on his mother's side from the Sandbys ... was the last surviving relative of the family. He had pictures given him by various members of the family - and inherited some from Mr. William Sandby who lent a number to the 'Special Exhibition of Drawings and Pictures by Paul & Thomas Sandby [Castle Mus. 1884]'
