The Field, the Artist's Daughter on a Pony , 1906
187 x 141 cm (h x w)
Oil on canvas

Solomon creates impact by employing the portrait format to depict his eight-year-old daughter, Mary, splendidly attired in scarlet coat and tricorne hat, seated on her pony Kettle. A gifted portraitist and great family man, Solomon often used his family as models and Mary was a particular favourite. This portrait is shown hanging on the wall in the background of his informal portrait of his wife, Ella, and daughter, Iris, 'The Breakfast Table'.
