Albert Neuhuys DUTCH: 1844-
SUNLIGHT
Height, 33½ inches; width, 24 inches
In the rich grass near the doorway of a cottage a little Dutch girl is seated, plucking the petals from a bunch of flowers which she holds in her lap, while a tame goat, tethered to the tree under which the child sits, crops the herbage. In the gloom of the cottage interior is seen the mother, in characteristic costume. Strong sunlight touches the foliage of the tree, casts luminous shadows on the wall of the house, accentuates the figure of the child, and flecks here and there the grass.
