The artist specialises in illustration of children's books and draws her inspiration from such 20th century illustrators such as Edward Bawden (1903-1989) and Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) and American lithographed children's books. She typically includes in her work objects found in museums and antique shops.

This illustration is characteristic of Emily Sutton's style and technique with a strong use of outside line and colour and pattern. The image is of Clara's mother, Clara and her brother Ollie walking past statues in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
