TW427132 Mittens, 1907 (oil on canvas) by Hedley, Ralph (1848-1913); 76.3 x 63.6 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: A little girl\'s grandfather lovingly helps her try on her new hat and mittens in this North-East cottage scene. Probably the old man has knitted the presents himself. Wrapping paper lies on his knee. A piece of mistletoe and small sprig of holly by the window show that it is Christmas. Sunshine streaming through the glass adds to the happy atmosphere. The girl wears a pretty sash over her apron. Her shoes are a smart style of the clogs worn by working people of the area. Her doll lies on the table;); 穢 Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums; English, out of copyright.
