In the corner 1921

"In the Corner" is a painting by American artist George Luks completed in 1921. Luks was a leading figure in the Ashcan School, a group of realist artists who focused on the everyday lives of working-class Americans. In this painting, two children, a boy and a girl, stand in a corner. The girl is in a bright red dress and hat, while the boy is dressed in a dark suit. The girl appears to be whispering something in the boy's ear. The painting is characterized by its loose brushwork and strong sense of realism, which is typical of Luks's style.
