About the piece

Painted in 1624, this oil study depicts two playful children with the soft, rounded features characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The luminous treatment of skin and the rich textures of the blue and pink draperies against a deep, dark background create a piece with significant old-world charm and gallery presence.
