Description

"Playing Soldiers" is a charming watercolour depicting a lively scene of children at play outside a rustic cottage. The composition skilfully balances the energetic figures against the weathered architecture, creating a sense of nostalgic rural life. Farrier's use of light and colour brings warmth and vitality to the scene, while his attention to detail in clothing and expressions adds historical interest. Signed with initials to the lower right. Well presented in a gilt frame and blue wash line mount. Artist name and title inscribed to the mount. On paper.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age, including some discolouration. There is light foxing. The frame has suffered some minor losses, which have been restored.
