About the piece

Attributed to Anton Ebert, this late 19th-century oil painting captures a tender scene of childhood innocence. Two children, dressed in traditional rural attire, interact by a weathered wooden well as water flows into a vessel. The lush, sun-dappled forest background and the warm, earthy palette create a sense of timeless pastoral peace.
