EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: The Field, 1919 Artist: Nora Munro Summers (1882-1965) Medium: Oil on canvas Date: 1919 Description: In this evocative oil painting, "The Field," Scottish artist Nora Munro Summers captures the tender moment between a country woman and her young children amidst the rustic charm of rural life. The woman, dressed in a simple, worn frock, cradles her baby tightly to her chest, her face expressing a deep sense of love and protection. A young child in a pristine white dress stands beside her, her curious gaze fixed on the chickens in the pen behind her mother. The warm, earthy tones of the painting convey a sense of tranquility and the comforting embrace of nature. The blanket covering the woman's torso adds an element of modesty and intimacy to the scene. The chickens in the pen, with their bright, alert eyes, add a touch of liveliness and energy to the otherwise serene image. This painting, published in Volume 12, February 1920, of a popular women's magazine, offers a glimpse into the simple pleasures and joys of rural life, as well as the deep bond between a mother and her children.
