Victorian artist Edwin Thomas Roberts was immensely popular for
his charming genre scenes which were widely sought after. This is
an excellent example of his work which often depicted comical
scenes including children, set in idyllic country or small village
backgrounds. He worked and exhibited in London, displaying a total
of forty-six works at Suffolk Street between 1862 and 1886 and
three works at the Royal Academy between 1882 and 1884 where he
was very well received.
