Village Children, Mongesty is a 1950 watercolor by Anthony Gross, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting depicts a group of children sitting on a bench in a village setting. The children are dressed in casual attire, with the boy on the left wearing a yellow shirt and shorts, while the others wear dresses and skirts. In the background, there are trees and buildings, creating a serene atmosphere. The painting's use of soft colours and gentle brushstrokes adds to its calming effect. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the children's faces and clothing are rendered. For more information on the artist's work, look up Gross, Anthony.
