Herkomer’s earliest artistic training came from his woodcarver father. This charming scene is his first oil painting, completed before he had enrolled in the Southampton School of Art, and in a frame carved by his father. Scott Wilcox, Victorian Idyll, Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, V 2811
