Children 1836

Josef Kriehuber's 1836 watercolor painting, "Children," portrays a tender scene of four children, two boys and two girls, engaged in a moment of quiet play. The artist, known for his delicate and expressive brushstrokes, captures the innocence and charm of childhood with a subtle realism. The children are dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, adding a historical context to the composition. The painting showcases Kriehuber's ability to convey emotion and create a sense of warmth and intimacy in a small-scale format.
