The Seven Children of the Winterking is a 1628 oil by Cornelius van Poelenburgh, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting shows a group of seven children in a landscape. They are dressed in ancient Greek or Roman style, with tunics and cloaks. Some of them are holding spears or shields. In the foreground, there are dead animals, including deer and a boar. The background is a hilly landscape with trees and a blue sky. The children seem to be on a hunting trip, and the dead animals suggest that they have been successful. The painting has a sense of drama and energy, with the children and animals arranged in a dynamic composition. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
Cornelis van Poelenburgh or Cornelis van Poelenburch (1594 – 12 August 1667), was a Dutch landscape painter and draughtsman.
