This painting shows four children standing together, with the oldest boy in the center. He's wearing a long black coat and holding a small bird. The other three kids are dressed in lighter colors, with the youngest sitting on the ground in a white dress. The children are set against a dark background with some trees and clouds. The oldest boy stands out because of his serious expression and the bird he's holding. You can learn more about the artist who painted this, Agustín Esteve.
