One of our Breadwatchers
Frederic James Shields 1833 - 1911
Summary
A young girl sits huddled in the corner of a simple shelter constructed from branches and straw, set into a hedgerow, a small fire burning before her. The ground around her and the roof of her shelter are covered in snow and holly. On the left, in the distance, a group of birds fly overhead.
