"A sweet disorder in the dress/Kindles in clothes a wantonness;/A lawn about the shoulders thrown/Into a fine distraction" (Robert Herrick)

A little copse outside the Forbes's home at Higher Faugan, Newlyn, inspired the setting for a group of paintings and poetry illustrations depicting girls and children in the exotic woodlands of the Cornish countryside.
(see C. Fox, Stanhope Forbes and the Newlyn School, London, 1993, p.49).
