The children of King Charles I is a 1862 watercolor by Frederick Goodall, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In the painting, three children are depicted standing on a stone ledge, with a white swan swimming in the water below them. The children are dressed in period clothing, with the boy wearing a brown jacket and the girls wearing blue and pink dresses. The background of the painting features a large house or castle, surrounded by trees and a cloudy sky. The children appear to be interacting with the swan, which is swimming towards them. The painting is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the clothing and architecture. The colors are muted, with a focus on earth tones such as brown, green, and blue. The painting is a beautiful example of Realism, with its attention to detail and realistic depiction of the scene.
