The Playful Children - A Burst of Joy after School
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this colour lithograph by William Lee Hankey, we are transported to a quaint village where the innocence and exuberance of childhood take center stage. The scene captures a group of children just released from the confines of their school, bursting with energy and freedom. As they let loose in the open fields, their laughter fills the air, echoing through the surrounding countryside. Their vibrant costumes add splashes of color against the backdrop of nature's serene beauty. Each child is depicted with unique expressions and gestures that reflect their individual personalities and playful spirits. Hankey's masterful brushstrokes bring life to every detail - from the wisps of hair blowing in the wind to the dust kicked up by their running feet. Through his artistry, he transports us back to a simpler time when children found joy in simple pleasures like running through meadows or playing games with friends. This artwork is part of Hankey's series inspired by Oliver Goldsmith's poem "The Deserted Village" published in 1909. It beautifully captures both the essence of childhood innocence and pays homage to rural communities that were slowly disappearing during Britain's industrialization. "The Playful Children" serves as a timeless reminder that no matter how much time passes or how society changes, there will always be moments where children can truly let loose and embrace pure happiness.
