EDITORS COMMENTS
Who likes ices?", a delightful question posed by artist Ethel Parkinson in her charming 1910 painting, captures the essence of childhood joy and simple pleasures. The image features a young boy and girl, both dressed in their Sunday best, sharing a helping of luscious strawberry ice cream at a dance. The scene is set against the backdrop of a beautifully decorated ballroom, filled with other children and adults, all engaged in various activities. The boy, with a mischievous grin on his face, holds the ice cream cone steady for the girl, who delicately licks the sweet treat with a look of pure bliss. The strawberry ice cream, with its vibrant red color and creamy texture, adds a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic painting. The use of soft pastel colors and delicate brushstrokes adds to the dreamlike quality of the image. Ethel Parkinson, a talented artist of her time, expertly captures the innocence and carefree spirit of childhood. The painting is a testament to the simple joys of life and the importance of cherishing moments spent with loved ones. The image is a beautiful reminder of the past, transporting us to a time when life was simpler and pleasures were found in the little things. This enchanting painting, "Who likes ices?", is a treasure from the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of children over a century ago. It is a timeless piece that continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia and joy, making it a must-have for any art collection.
