About the piece
Painted in 1741 by Josef Frans Nollekens, this lively composition captures a group of children engaged in play near an elegant stone arcade. The central figures include a young boy in a vibrant red coat pulling a wooden hobby horse, while other children in silk dresses watch and participate in the game.
