Good Neighbours

The artwork Good Neighbours is a painting created by Frederick Morgan in 1885. It is part of the collection at the Guildhall Art Gallery. The painting measures 0.927 meters in width and 0.721 meters in height.

The scene depicts a sunny day with three women engaging in conversation over a brick wall. Two of the women are leaning against the wall, suggesting they are involved in hanging laundry, as seen draped on a clothesline in the background. The third woman is seated in a relaxed posture on a chair in the foreground, knitting and engaging in conversation with the other two women. A young child dressed in a white bonnet and blue dress is beside her, playing with a doll. The setting appears to be a shared courtyard between houses, evidenced by the brick wall and glimpses of the building's exterior. The presence of potted geraniums adds a touch of homeliness to the scene.
