About the piece

Painted in 1891, this work by Newlyn School artist Frank Bramley captures a child's funeral procession on a grey, overcast day in Cornwall. The striking contrast of the white dresses against the muted tones of the harbor and sky creates an atmosphere of communal dignity and quiet grief.
