Skipping 1896

"Skipping" is a heartwarming depiction of two young girls engaged in a playful game of jump rope. The painting, created in 1896 by British artist Frederick Morgan, captures the innocent joy of childhood. The girls' lively expressions and the delicate brushstrokes create a sense of movement and energy, while the soft hues and dappled light evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The image is characteristic of Morgan's oeuvre, which often featured children in charming, everyday scenes. The piece exemplifies the genre of genre painting, which focuses on depicting scenes from daily life.
