On the portrait, four children of the Marsham family, depicted in a relaxed atmosphere, in the park – three girls are a boy. The older girl supports the hem of the dress, and the boy tears off the nuts from the tree and throws her in the hem. A little girl helps her keep nuts. Another younger girl turned away, embracing the dog.
Why did she turn her back on other children and not participate in the collection of nuts, maybe she was offended by something? Next to her is another dog – the dogs are always present in the pictures of Gainsborough. The picture is full of serene charm: the beautiful beautiful faces of children, lush nature, soft pastel colors, characteristic tones for the artist’s canvases.
