October in Surrey: Children Nutting

About this work

This painting shows a group of children playing in a wooded area. The trees are tall, with yellow leaves and green vines covering their trunks. The children are gathered around the base of one tree, looking up at it. They are all dressed in old-fashioned clothing. In the background, there are more trees and a hillside. The sky is blue with a few clouds. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of autumn, with the leaves changing colors and the children enjoying the outdoors. The artist who painted this is Edward Henry Holder.
