Franks Children with Bird is a 1735 oil by Gerardus Duyckinck I, a Rococo painting work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
This painting shows a boy and a girl in 18th-century clothing. The boy is wearing a long, dark coat with large buttons and red stockings, while the girl is dressed in a red dress with a white top. The boy is holding a small bird on his finger. The boy's pose suggests he is proud to be holding the bird, and the girl looks on with interest. The background of the painting is dark, which helps the figures stand out. To learn more about this style of painting, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Gerardus Duyckinck I (1695–1746) was an artist.
