Children Playing Ball is a 1900 by Auguste Renoir, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three kids playing outside. One child in a red dress is running, her hair flying, while another in a light dress leans forward, maybe chasing a ball. The third kid, wearing a dark hat, stands nearby, watching. The background is blurry—just a pale sky and some vague shapes. The artist used quick, loose strokes, almost like scribbles, to show movement. The colors are simple: reds, whites, and soft browns, with no fancy details. Next, check out Pierre-Auguste Renoir to see how he painted real-life moments.
