About the piece

Painted by Elizabeth Forbes in 1912, this work captures a woman and two children engaged in the humble task of gathering blackberries. Associated with the Newlyn School, Forbes demonstrates a masterful handling of light and atmosphere, setting her subjects against a rolling landscape and an expansive, billowy sky that dominates the composition.
