About the piece

This 1839 work by Henriette Odescalchi offers a charming glimpse into 19th-century childhood. Painted with delicate watercolors and pencil, the scene depicts three children—one standing and playing a horn—on a green wooden see-saw, set against a backdrop of tall, ethereal trees in Rusovce.
