Fine art painting. A knight carries a toddler, facing a green meadow. His back is to the viewer, his face hidden, and we see the polished dark gray plate and rivets of his armour, and the lavish brocade of his red tunic, the neckline peeking out from the armour. The red-cheeked, curly-haired toddler looks back toward the viewer: face touching the knight's, a hand on the knight's shoulder, a contented look on the face. A green meadow lies beyond them, dotted with bushes, a path winding through the grass.
“Knight Carrying Child”, from The Book of Old English Songs and Ballads.” By Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale (1872-1945).
