Always at his best with children included in his paintings and wonderfully displaying the noise and heat of the industrious Blacksmith forging wheel rims. The expressions and stances of the children coming,(or going?),from school eminentally captures the industry. Housed in a specifically made Frinton frame and in very good re-lined order.
