About the piece

Painted in 1910 by George Washington Lambert, this luminous oil on canvas depicts the artist's own family during a summer in Essex. The work showcases Lambert's technical virtuosity, blending the grand tradition of European portraiture with a modern, vigorous brushstroke that captures the vitality of the figures and their equine companion against a sweeping, tonal sky.
