Φ Dame Laura Knight DBE, RA, RWS (1877-1970)

The same rocking horse and infant are depicted in two further works by Laura Knight; The Elder Sister in Touchstones, Rochdale (no.100), and The Rocking Horse (Christie's, London, 9 November 2004, lot 91). These two works were painted in 1906, whereas our work was possibly painted slightly earlier, c.1905.

We are grateful to John Croft for his assistance cataloguing the present work. It will be included in Mr Croft's catalogue raisonné of Laura Knight's work, no.1023.
