Playing in the Sun (Jeux au soleil) is a 1893 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this image, two figures stand in the water, their bodies facing each other. They appear to be holding a circular object above their heads, with their arms outstretched. The scene is set against a backdrop of dark water and a bright sun shining down, its rays radiating outward. The artist has used a woodcut technique to create the image, with bold black lines and a brown paper background. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with a focus on the interaction between the two figures.
