One of our Breadwatchers
Frederic James Shields 1833 - 1911
Summary
Female figure huddled up in a blue and white apron and head scarf in a straw hut. A small fire burns outside- smoke blowing to the left and embers glistening. The hut is covered in snow and has sprigs of holly entwined with the straw. Deciduous trees to right foreground and in background. Grey sky and birds in the sky to the left. Some piece of wood to the left of the girl and a small blue knapsack by her side.
