About the piece
This 1845 oil painting by Joseph Whiting Stock captures Mary and Francis Wilcox with the naive charm and bold color palette characteristic of American folk art. The siblings are depicted hand-in-hand, accompanied by their playthings—a doll in a cradle and a toy house—standing on a richly patterned carpet against a dark, draped background.
