George Smith studied at the Royal Academy Schools under Charles West Cope (see preceding lot). The present picture is a typical example of his work, which was often of children and full of domestic incident. In this his oeuvre is reminiscent of those members of the Cranbook Colony, Thomas Webster and Frederick Daniel Hardy.
