Boys knocking down walnuts outside the Fernlea schoolroom is a theme which Spencer used a number of times. See also The Betrayal [second version] (Ulster Museum, Belfast), 1922-23, (Bell 91), where the two boys leaning on the corrugated metal schoolroom are the artist and his brother Gilbert.
The concept of Hilda in a Haystack with birds at the base was an idea first used by Spencer to illustrate the month of August in The Chatto & Windus Almanack, 1926, and later became inspiration for St. Francis and the Birds, 1935, (Bell 164).
