Good Children 1894

"Good Children" is a painting created in 1894 by the French artist Édouard Vuillard. The piece, part of a private collection, portrays two children, possibly siblings, standing in a garden or outdoor space. The figures are depicted in a simplified, almost schematic style, characteristic of Vuillard's work in this period. The painting's soft color palette and loose brushwork give the impression of a fleeting moment captured in the artist's distinctive Intimism style, which focused on intimate scenes of daily life. The scene's atmosphere, suffused with a gentle light, creates a mood of tranquility and innocence, consistent with the painting's title.
