Summary
A framed and glazed picture ('Children at Play 2') in a plain oak frame with brass rings screwed to the back. It is painted (or printed) on dark green paper, and depicts a little girl in a grey pinafore dress and a large white bonnet with a red bow. She is sitting on a red cloth on the ground, eating a piece of bread and butter. To her dismay, two large turkeys are coming very close, while a dog slinks off in fright. The name 'Cecil Aldin' is at the bottom right corner, and the number '4' written on the back.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mr Peter Good in June 1983.
