Two boys in a wooded landscape is a 1799 watercolor by John Renton, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two boys in a forest. One stands near a tall birch tree, wearing a hat and a loose jacket. The other sits on the ground, partly hidden by bushes. The colors are muted—greens, browns, and a few light patches on the tree. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a sketchy, natural feel. The artist focused on light hitting the tree bark, making it stand out. Look up Romanticism to see how artists like this one used nature and emotion in their work.
