About this work
A child in dark overalls and a pink top stands facing the viewer, held gently by the shoulders by an adult's arm reaching in from the side; the adult, largely cropped from the frame, wears a bright orange and blue patterned dress and holds a bunch of white and violet lilac. Behind them a black dog stands on a leash near a slide, set among slender bare trees.
Soft mauve, dusty pink and pale green tones dominate, with the dress rendered in flat orange-and-turquoise geometric pattern that contrasts against the loosely brushed, hazy surroundings. Light is diffuse and even, and the tender, protective gesture of the hand gives the scene a calm, affectionate quietness.
