The Children

Camille Pissarro, 1880

The artwork titled "The Children" depicts two young children seated at a wooden table. The child on the left, with long brown hair, is wearing a red garment, while the child on the right, seen from behind, wears a blue and white cap and a patterned blue outfit. Both children are engaged with a book or paper on the table. The setting is an interior space, with a textured, pastel-colored wall in the background. To the right on the table, there is a green bottle and a brown jug. A window on the left side allows light into the room, casting shadows.
