Suffer the Little Children

Thomas Sully

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of individuals in a room with a central figure - a man seated on an elevated seat with a child on his lap. The man has dark hair and a beard, wearing a white robe with a red garment on his seat. The crowd around him consists of mostly men in earthy-toned clothing. One figure in the foreground has his hand on the child. The background has a soft, architectural setting, creating a serene atmosphere.
