About the piece
Painted around 1822, Francis Danby's 'Children by a Brook' captures a poignant moment of play in the English countryside. The artist utilizes dramatic chiaroscuro, contrasting the sun-dappled foreground where children gather water and play among the stones with the mysterious, deep greens of the overhanging chestnut tree.
