William Winter’s Skipping portrays two young girls immersed in a quiet moment of outdoor activity. One stands pensively with a skipping rope, her dark dress and pale face contrasting the softly textured wall behind her. The other, perched on a swing, leans forward mid-motion, her red skirt and green-tinted blouse alive with energy and movement. The backdrop—muted pinks, greys, and hints of blue—creates a dreamlike, nostalgic atmosphere. Winter’s expressive brushwork and restrained palette lend the scene both simplicity and emotional depth, capturing the delicate balance between childhood innocence and introspection.
