Classic, sweet, very simple autumn chestnut collecting scene: small, concentrated, earnest nature child — compact, warm, round-faced — on hands and knees on autumn forest floor, carefully picking up shiny dark-brown chestnuts from among prickly green-yellow outer cases. Chestnuts: beautifully shiny and dark, some half-inside spiky cases, some fully free, scattered everywhere. Child: wearing thick gloves, handling each chestnut with careful delight, placing one by one into already-full bag. Expression: complete absorption and satisfaction with each perfect chestnut. Very large horse-chestnut tree above dropping more. Autumn leaves all around. Very thick outlines, very large colour areas.
