About this work

This painting shows a group of people in old-fashioned clothing. A woman in a big dress and hat stands with children around her. One child is holding an umbrella. Another woman kneels, holding a baby. A small dog is on the ground. They are in front of a building with trees and bushes. The scene is set in a quiet outdoor area, with the group gathered together. The woman in the big dress seems to be helping the other woman and her baby. You can see more paintings like this by William Redmore Bigg.
