SIR WILLIAM RUSSELL FLINT P.R.A., P.R.W.S., R.S.W., R.O.I., R.E
A lively, yet intricate painting, very much in Russell Flint's style.
A group of girls playing by what appears to be a pool or bath, but is probably la Lavoir,
where everyone congregates to wash their clothes and exchage the current gossip,
Obviously in this scene there is some sort of 'caprice' being played out by one of the girls.
The figures in the painting are Cecilia Green, which dates the work somewhere between 1953 and 1966.
