A group of children is a 1850 watercolor by William Booth, depicting Family, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows four kids in a cozy room. The girl on the left wears a light blue dress and kneels on the floor, holding a younger child in red. Behind them, a boy in green sits on a bench with one leg crossed, while the youngest child stands between them, dressed in white. The room has a fireplace, a small table with a vase, and a shelf with a bust on it. The artist used soft colors and gentle shading to make the kids look natural. The clothes and furniture suggest a wealthy home from long ago. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
William Booth spent his life dodging the streets of London with a sketchbook, sketching kids whooped up in rags instead of schoolrooms.
