The David Children

Amerikanische Malerei 1815–1826, 1826

The image displays three children in a domestic setting. One boy is sitting upright, leaning towards a girl who is lying down. He has curly, light-brown hair and wears a red dress with ruffles. The girl beside him has long, dark, wavy hair and wears a light-colored gown. She appears to be holding the baby's hand. The boy is holding the baby's foot and looking kindly at the baby who has light hair and a relaxed expression. The background features a warmly-lit room with a staircase and a doorway. Two people are faintly visible descending the stairs in the adjacent section.
