Children Playing in a Park

Französische Malerei 1850–1863, circa 1860

This is a painting of a group of children holding hands and playing in a grassy area. The children form a line, with one crossing under the connected arms of two others. The children wear expressions of joy, with wide eyes and open, upturned mouths. Three of the children wear dresses in pastel pink, green, and blue, while the other three wear jackets and trousers. The background is a lush green landscape, and dappled light is cast on the scene from above.
