Summary
A colour print of an original painting entitled 'Shrimping'. The print depicts children standing on the very edge of the sea with buckets, spades and nets. The sea is pale green-blue and yellow where the sun catches the water. The artist's signature (possibly A. Tamian) is in the bottom left hand corner. The title is handwritten, very faintly, on a label on the reverse. The framers label is also on the reverse. The print has a plain wooden frame and is unglazed.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mr Peter Good in June 1983.
