Edith Hayllar (1860–1948) was a British artist born to James Hayllar, an acclaimed Victorian artist known for his genre paintings. Edith Hayllar’s family was comprised completely of artists including her three sisters: Jessica, Mary and Kate. Together, residing in an estate in Wallingford England, all four girls followed a strict Victorian regime of four to ten art classes a day to ensure proper mastery of basic art techniques such as proportions. In addition to their rigorous training schedule the girls spent the rest of their time at the estate engaging in relaxing activities such as outdoor sports, plain air painting, and gardening. These leisurely domestic scenes became the subject of the sisters’ most renowned paintings.
