About the piece

Painted in 1919 by George Bellows, 'Three Children' is a masterful example of American Realism. The work captures a quiet moment of summer leisure as three children and their dog rest on a sun-drenched rock. Bellows utilizes a bold palette and dynamic brushwork to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the lush, rolling valley behind the subjects.
