Children Bathing (The Hoppner Children)

James Ward after John Hoppner

National Gallery of Art

The image features three children. One child is standing, facing slightly to the side with one arm bent and the hand resting on the chest. This child has shoulder-length light hair with waves and is wearing a long-sleeved outfit with a large white collar and dark shoes with straps. The other two children are seated on the ground near a small stream. The child in the middle is wrapped in a light-colored cloth. The third child is seated, facing the middle child, with similar hair length and texture, mostly unclothed and turned towards the viewer. The background shows large trees and a partly cloudy sky.
