EDITORS COMMENTS
Milkwoman of 1813, by Ethel Parkinson (1902) This evocative image captures the essence of rural life in the early 19th century, as depicted by English artist Ethel Parkinson in her painting 'Milkwoman of 1813.' The scene portrays a hardworking milkwoman skillfully balancing two large pails of fresh milk on a traditional yoke, as she makes her way from the barn to the dairy. Dressed in a simple yet practical outfit, complete with a headscarf and sturdy apron, she exudes a quiet determination and resilience that speaks to the daily challenges and rewards of farming life. The painting, created in 1902, is an intriguing blend of historical accuracy and artistic interpretation. While the milkwoman's attire and the use of a yoke are indeed reminiscent of the early 1800s, the precise setting and specific details are not documented. Instead, Parkinson masterfully captures the spirit of a bygone era, inviting viewers to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of rural life during this time. Ethel Parkinson (1872-1955) was a prolific artist known for her paintings of rural and domestic scenes. Her work often depicted the daily lives of ordinary people, capturing the beauty and simplicity of the English countryside. 'Milkwoman of 1813' is a testament to her ability to bring history to life through her art, offering a glimpse into the past while also celebrating the enduring strength and grace of rural communities.
