Children with Candle

Jean-Baptiste Isabey

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a sepia-toned etching titled "Children with Candle" by Jean-Baptiste Isabey. The scene depicts two children sitting on the ground in a dimly lit interior. A large candle on the floor casts shadows on the wall and illuminates the children. The children are positioned in the lower center of the image. One child holds the candle. The background features a wall with a large arched window on the upper left. A tree trunk is visible on the right. The image is framed by a thin black line, with a small signature in the bottom-left corner and the year "1818" in the bottom-right corner.
