About this work

This painting shows five children sitting around a table. The kids are all dressed up, with the girls wearing dark dresses and the boys in suits and bow ties. They're all looking at something on the table, but we can't see what it is. The table has a fancy tablecloth on it. The background is dark, so it's hard to see what's behind them. The kids all have serious faces, like they're concentrating on something. They're all sitting close together, like they're working on a project. The tablecloth has a fancy pattern on it, which adds to the formal feel of the painting. This painting is part of the collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
