The Sedan Chair

Sir David Wilkie

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three children kneeling on the ground, holding hands or possibly dancing. The central child wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long-sleeved garment. The child to the left wears a smaller hat and a jacket, seen from the back and side. The child to the right looks directly into the scene with short hair and light clothing. A small dog stands nearby. The background features sketchy trees and textured clouds in the sky.
