Artist Emily van Lidth de Jeude painting in studio: Just to Let Your Betters Pass

Emily van Lidth de Jeude painting in her studio to the song, Ballad of Accounting, written by Ewan Maccoll and performed here by Ewan Maccoll and Peggy Seeger. The painting was eventually titled "Did You Shuffle Off the Pavements Just to Let Your Betters Pass?", a lyric from this very important song. The child in the portrait is a friend who posed for the portrait, and felt strongly about being part of such a painting that spoke about the rights of children. https://emilyartist.ca
