Doll Ethel Hammock Leans Parkinson Tease Tickle
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tease, Ethel Parkinson, 1911 This charming and whimsical image, titled 'The Tease,' captures a moment of playful mischief between a young girl and her doll. Painted by English artist Ethel Parkinson in 1911, the scene unfolds in the idyllic setting of a garden, with the girl reclining in a hammock, her feet dangling in the cool water of a nearby pond. Her focus is entirely on her cherished doll, as she leans over to tickle him with a playful grin on her face. The boy doll, with his rosy cheeks and mischievous expression, seems to be enjoying the game as much as his human counterpart. Ethel Parkinson's masterful use of color and brushwork brings this delightful scene to life. The vibrant greens of the foliage, the rich blues of the water, and the warm tones of the girl's dress and the doll's clothing create a sense of warmth and joy. The intricate details, such as the girl's braids and the doll's clothing, showcase Parkinson's exceptional skill as a painter. This image is a testament to the enduring bond between children and their toys, and the simple pleasures of childhood. The teasing gesture, a common game among siblings and friends, adds a touch of humor and playfulness to the painting. The Tease is a charming and timeless work of art that continues to captivate viewers over a century after it was created.
