Children in Woods 1905

"Children in Woods" (1905) by American artist Frank W. Benson is a beautiful portrayal of three young girls, bathed in soft light, amidst a verdant forest setting. The painting's loose brushstrokes and Impressionistic style capture the fleeting moments of childhood innocence, as the girls, dressed in white, engage in quiet play. The work is a testament to Benson's mastery of light and color, and his ability to evoke a sense of tranquility and beauty. The painting, now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a cherished example of American Impressionism.
