The Stewart Children (also known as Isabella and John Stewart) 1774

"The Stewart Children," painted in 1774 by Charles Willson Peale, depicts Isabella and John Stewart, likely the artist’s children, in a natural setting. The children are positioned in the foreground, Isabella seated with a peach in hand and John kneeling with a handful of peaches. The background features a landscape of trees and water, possibly the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, where Peale resided. This work exemplifies Peale's skill as a portrait painter and his ability to capture the innocence and charm of childhood. The artwork is currently located at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.
