Not of the Fold
Frederick Morgan captures a quiet moment of rural life that hints at a deeper social divide, referencing the biblical phrase for those outside the church. In the foreground, a family of itinerant basket-weavers rests by a stream, the father crafting a wicker basket while a toddler plays with a scruffy white dog. Meanwhile, on the wooden bridge behind them, well-dressed villagers pause to watch, creating a subtle contrast between the settled community and these wandering outsiders. Despite the title suggesting they don't belong, Morgan paints the family with such warmth and dignity that you can't help but root for them.
