Holiday in Essex is a 1910 oil by George Washington Lambert, a Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
This painting depicts a woman and two children on a horse. The woman, dressed in a brown dress with a white scarf, stands beside the horse, while the children sit on its back. The horse is dark brown with a white patch on its nose. The scene is set against a backdrop of a tree and a cloudy sky. The woman appears to be guiding the horse, which is facing to the right. The children are looking in different directions, adding a sense of movement to the scene. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures.
George Washington Thomas Lambert (13 September 1873 – 29 May 1930) was an Australian artist, known principally for portrait painting and for being a war artist during the First World War.
