Ethel Holland Kissing Parkinson Rainy Umbrella Watch
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, titled "What the children saw," captures a moment of romantic bliss amidst the tranquil yet moody landscape of Holland on a rainy day in 1911. Three young girls huddle together under the shelter of a nearby tree, their expressions a mix of curiosity and wonder, as they witness a young couple sharing a tender kiss under the protective canopy of a red umbrella. The artist, Ethel Parkinson, masterfully conveys the ethereal quality of the scene, with the soft, muted colors of the rain-soaked environment contrasting beautifully against the vibrant red of the umbrella. The girls' dresses, drenched in rainwater, cling to their bodies, adding to the sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The scene is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the simple joys that can be found even in the most ordinary moments of life. This evocative print, created by the talented Ethel Parkinson, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the beauty of the world around us was appreciated in its most authentic form.
