This painting shows a group of kids running down a grassy hill toward a river. A few are already in the water, while others splash behind them. Trees line the riverbank, and the sky looks soft and cloudy. The artist used watercolor, which keeps the colors light and airy. Notice how the kids’ movement makes the scene feel lively, even though it’s a quiet moment. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
