Feeding the Pigeons is a 1894 oil by Thomas Austen Brown, a Impressionism work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting shows a woman and a young girl standing together in a field, surrounded by pigeons. The woman is dressed in a long white dress and a hat, holding a bird in her right hand. The girl is wearing a white dress with a red underskirt. The background is a field with trees and bushes, and the sky is visible at the top of the painting. The woman's expression is calm, and the girl is looking up at her with interest. The pigeons are scattered around their feet, and some are flying in the air. The overall atmosphere of the painting is peaceful and serene. The painting is a beautiful example of a genre scene, capturing a quiet moment in everyday life.
