Two Children

British 19th Century after George Henry Harlow

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an artistic drawing of two children's upper bodies facing each other. One child has shoulder-length curly hair and a profile view, looking up at the other child. The child on the right has a round face, short hair under a bonnet, and is in a three-quarter view looking down. Both children wear simple, flowing garments without visible patterns. The drawing is done in soft pencil tones with a hint of color, giving a gentle appearance. The background is plain paper with a fading oval vignette effect, emphasizing the children.
