NOTES
This charming image offers an idyllic vision of the English countryside with children playing in freshly mowed grass. Myles Birket Foster was one of the most celebrated 19th-century watercolor painters of rustic scenes. He worked in a stippled technique, applying miniscule strokes of paint with great skill that yielded vibrant color and intricate detail.
