Sketches of Heads (The Berard Children) is a 1891 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting shows a group of children's heads, each one unique and expressive. The kids are all different ages, from a baby to older kids, and they're all looking in different directions. Some of them are looking straight at you, while others are looking away or down. The painting is done in soft, gentle colors that make the kids look really sweet and innocent. You can tell the artist was trying to capture the personalities of each child, and it's like you can see their little characters shining through.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born on 25 February 1841 in Limoges, the son of a tailor and a seamstress.
