The Children of Nathan Starr

Ambrose Andrews

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman and four children. The woman sits on a wooden chair, wearing a long white dress. She faces left. Her brown hair is in a bun. To her right, a girl stands, wearing a long white dress with a blue sash around her waist. The girl holds a handheld mirror. To the woman's left, three children stand. A boy on the left wears a black jacket, tan vest, white collared shirt, and brown pants. He holds a handheld mirror. A smaller boy next to him wears a dark brown jacket and pants with a white collared shirt. He looks up at the boy with the mirror. A girl in a blue dress stands in front of the two boys, holding a handheld mirror. The floor is red with a patterned rug. There are two red doors on either side of a large window. Outside the window is a view of buildings and greenery.
