拍品專文

From the nineteenth century, if not earlier, Hyde Park was essential to the well-being of London's community of nannies, their mobility being enhanced from around 1860 with the invention of the perambulator. The most fashionable spots to meet and gossip were the Daisy Walk at the east end of the Serpentine and behind the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens.

James Wallace (1872-1911) exhibited five works at the Royal Academy (1899-1904) including one entitled In the Park, 1904, no. 520.
He lived and worked in Northumberland but spent his latter years in London, where he died in 1911.
