Sharp is primarily celebrated for her sundrenched landscapes such as the present painting. The critic for The Artist stated in April 1935 that ‘I think I can say without fear of contradiction that Dorothea Sharp is one of England’s greatest living painters. Full of sunshine and luscious colour, her work is always lively, harmonious and tremendously exhilarating. The chief attractions of Miss Sharp’s pictures are her happy choice of subject, rollicking children bathed in strong sunlight and her paintings appeal because they are based on the joy of life’.

The angle of perspective puts us at one with this happy, well cared for child and her serene mother, and the expression on her face has us remembering the sun warmed fields of our own younger lives. Everything about the painting, the soaking sunlight, the lines suggesting breeze, lifts our spirits and renews our wonder at life. What a beauty!

What a truly happy painting! It brings me back to when my kids were small and also because they are all in white it invokes a feeling of May Day festival. I love the child’s face particularly. It’s really beautiful.
