Dutch Boy Scrumping - A Surprised Look, Caught by an Agile Canine
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, created by the talented British artist Ethel Parkinson in 1909, transports us back in time to a quaint scene in the heart of the Netherlands. The painting, titled "Dutch Boy Scrumping," depicts a young boy in traditional Dutch attire, momentarily startled as he is caught in the act of scrumping, or secretly picking apples from an orchard. The boy, dressed in a crisp, white shirt, suspenders, and a short, blue apron, clutches a basket brimming with ripe, red apples. His expression is one of surprise and mischief as he looks over his shoulder, revealing a playful grin. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a loyal, brown Dutch dog, who has skillfully snatched an apple from the boy's basket with its teeth. The rich, earthy colors and intricate details in Parkinson's painting evoke the warmth and charm of a simpler time. The lush green foliage, the vibrant red apples, and the rustic wooden fence all contribute to the idyllic setting. The traditional Dutch costume, with its distinctive cap, high collar, and voluminous pantaloons, adds authenticity and depth to the image. Ethel Parkinson's "Dutch Boy Scrumping" is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the essence of Dutch culture and the playful bond between a boy and his faithful companion. This charming artwork is a testament to Parkinson's skill as a painter and her ability to evoke nostalgia and wonder in the hearts of viewers.
