Playing Children, Enghave Square is a 1907 by Unknown, depicting playing, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a group of kids playing outside on a sunny day. They’re dressed in simple, old-fashioned clothes—some in dresses, others in shirts and shorts. A few are running or jumping, while others sit or stand around, watching. The background has trees with green leaves and a red-brick building. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a lively, textured look. The colors are bright but not flashy—mostly blues, reds, and earthy tones. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
