Playmates is a 1867 oil by Arthur Boyd Houghton, a British Romanticism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
In this painting, two young children are engaged in playful activity, with one child sitting on a chair and the other standing beside it. The children are dressed in simple, white clothing, and their hair is neatly styled. The chair features a green cushion and wooden frame, adding a pop of color to the scene. The background of the painting is dark and muted, which helps to focus attention on the children. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of innocence and joy, capturing a moment of childhood playfulness. This painting is held at the Ashmolean Museum.
Arthur Boyd Houghton (13 March 1836 – 25 November 1875) was a British painter (oil and watercolours) and illustrator.
