Merry children c. 1891

"Merry Children" is an oil painting on canvas by Leon Wyczółkowski, a Polish artist known for his portraits and landscapes. Created around 1891, this work depicts two young boys in a carefree moment. The scene is set in a lush, outdoor environment, with the light dappling through the trees to cast warm shadows. The joyous expressions of the children and their relaxed postures evoke a sense of youthful innocence and the simple pleasures of nature. This painting is a testament to Wyczółkowski's ability to capture the beauty of everyday life with a keen eye for detail and a sensitive touch.
