    Artwork

    The image shows three children in a natural setting. The child on the right is standing and is visible from head to toe, while the two children on the left are seated in the grass. The standing child is positioned slightly turned to the side, with arms folded across the chest. They have light brown, wavy hair that falls around their face and a face with soft features and light complexion. This child is dressed in a russet-colored outfit with a ruffled white collar, white socks, and dark shoes. The seated child on the left faces toward the standing child and has long, tousled light brown hair and has a fair complexion. They are bare-skinned and sitting on a white cloth draped over the grass. The other seated child, sitting in between the other two and facing away from the viewer, wears a light garment partially draped over their shoulders and has similarly light brown, wavy hair. The background includes trees with fall-colored foliage, a landscape with a stream running beside the children, and distant, cloudy skies.
