Back to the late 1880s. This was sold at Christie’s a year or two ago and is the kind of Clausen that fetches the money. I think (not all agree) that this is his daughter Meg (1884-1946), though it might be the only time he showed her as a child outside the family or not in a pure portrait.

There is something magical about the light in this picture. Clausen's picture The Miller's Man in Leeds City Art Gallery has a similar quality, and is one of the most beautiful paintings I've ever seen. Probably the only thing I miss about Leeds! I've tried looking for a picture of it on this site but not been able to spot it anywhere. I'd love a full sized print of it but I only have a postcard with it on.
