About the piece
Painted in 1858 by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, this oil on panel captures a group of children in traditional dress enjoying a day in the woods. The masterful treatment of light filters through the trees, highlighting the children's expressions and the delicate forest floor as they gather wildflowers near a distant, smoking cottage.
