Stanhope Forbes lost his first wife, Elizabeth, to cancer in 1912 and their only child Alec was killed in World War I four years later. However, this painting is full of optimism, with the next generation basking in Cornish sunshine, but in the far distance the Cenotaph (completed the year this was painted) shines like a beacon to remember those lost to save such an idyll.
