Nine Children Listening to a Girl Tell a Story; A Boy Handing a Purse to a Girl Seated on a Bed is a 1757 ink by Hubert François Gravelot, a Romanticism work, depicting Putti, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of children gathered around a girl telling a story, while another scene depicts a boy handing a purse to a girl on a bed. The interesting thing about this work is that it seems to be two separate scenes merged into one. The children are all engaged in their activities, oblivious to the other scene. To learn more about the artist's style, look up the work of artist: Gravelot, Hubert François.
Hubert-François Bourguignon, commonly known as Gravelot (26 March 1699 – 20 April 1773), was a French engraver, a famous book illustrator, designer and drawing-master.
