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.
