The Artist's Children Wolf and Anna Asleep

Leopold von Kalckreuth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two children asleep in bed. They are lying on their backs with their heads resting on pillows. The child on the left has short or closely cropped hair and their face is round with closed eyes. The child on the right has longer, curly hair falling around their face, which also shows closed eyes. Both children are dressed in light-colored nightgowns, and they are covered partially by blankets. The surrounding area appears calm and dimly lit. The bed is situated in a room with a plain background. There are no visible signs of jewelry or objects being held by the children.
