Brown's second wife, Emma Hill and their daughter, Catherine, posed outdoors in eighteenth-century dress for the main group in 1851, at their home in Stockwell. The sheep were brought over each day from Clapham Common. This version is a small replica of the original in Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, and was painted in 1852 in Thomas Seddon's studio.
