Walter Kershaw's child with a toy windmill based on Murillo's The Infant Christ as the Good Shepherd. context

Continuing the theme of windmills and wind turbines, underneath his 'Ruysdael' landscape, Walter painted a child holding up a toy windmill to the wind. This he based on 'The Infant Christ as the Good Shepherd' by Murillo. He left out the sheep in the original, and local children painted insects, flowers and butterflies around the child instead.
