About this work

Ralph Hedley's 1899 painting The truant's log shows a rural schoolroom in which a schoolmaster with a cane watches a boy standing with his cap in hand while another boy kneels to tie a bundle with cord. Pupils sit on benches and look on, and a younger girl reads a small book in the foreground.
