About this work

In this painting, two children stand in a snowy landscape, holding a bundle of leaves and twigs. The girl wears a red and white dress, while the boy is dressed in a brown coat and hat. The scene is set against a backdrop of snow-covered hills and a small house in the distance. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of warmth and intimacy, despite the cold winter setting. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Francis Wheatley, who was known for his genre scenes and landscapes.
