This charming painting is part of the author’s key cycle of paintings depicting children’s games in the changing seasons that have imposed an inevitable order and rhythm on country life. In them, Lada usually depicts the wintery fun of building a snowman or children playing in the blossoming grass. In winter motifs, the connecting figure is usually a snowman, while in the spring it is an older girl with a headscarf, weaving wreaths of flowers. Such a figure appears in the centre of the composition in the listed work. This pastime is observed by four more girls, while a boy plays a small pipe nearby. The peaceful scene is observed by a baby in a cart, wrapped up in a bunting. The group is surrounded by flowering trees and rural buildings with typical thatched roofs, behind which an unmistakable white plastered Baroque church rises on a hill as a symbol of the spiritual centre of the Czech village. This tableau is not only a work of art, but a nostalgic reminder of the traditional Czech countryside as Lada remembered it from his childhood. The work was reproduced in a monograph about the artist (J. Olič / L. Pavluch / P. Bregantová: Lada, Prague: 2008, fig. p. 579). It comes from a quality Prague collection. Assessed in consultation with Professor J. Zemina and PhDr. R. Michalová, PhD. The expert opinion of PhDr. P. Pečinková, CSc. is attached: “[...] The painting [...] from 1947 is a variation of the painting Childhood Games in the Spring from 1937. Lada returned to this theme with the newer compositional clarity we recognise from [his book] The Chronicle of My Life and a new spectrum of rural childhood life.”
