A family gathering probably in the garden of Old Court, Misterton. Featured are Mrs Knighton-Hammond (third wife), the artist’s daughter Mary (by his second wife), stepdaughter Ann and Di Wright (nanny). Knighton-Hammond enjoyed painting family conversation pieces and this picture was painted at speed. There is sufficient detail in the faces (and the back of the head) to make the family member recognisable.
