About this work

Two barefoot kids sit on a rug inside a simple room. The boy on the left wears a light blue dress, his arms resting on his knees. The girl next to him has a white cap, her hands clasped in front of her. Behind them, a plain wall and wooden floor stretch out, with a few faint lines on the wall. The kids look calm but not posed—their clothes and the room feel everyday. The drawing is loose, almost sketchy, with soft colors and no sharp details. Want to see more by the artist who made this?
