The painting is called Two Children in the Snow. It was made by George Du Maurier in a style that's part of the Romantic era. The artist used pen and black ink over graphite, which is a common technique, but also added scratching-out, a method where the artist scratches away some of the ink to create highlights or details. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
