Children In The Field. Watercolor 1945

This painting is a watercolor. It is unsigned and is dated on the back 31.08.45. In the foreground, we see two little girls wearing identical blue dresses. The first, seated in profile, seems to be addressing the other, whom we see from behind and who is looking on the other side of the fence, towards the woods. The field has the golden colors of summer. The background is dominated by dense vegetation made up of large green and gold trees. The sky is a little cloudy. The brushstrokes are free and expressive. Here we are immersed in a suspended and charming moment of a beautiful late summer day. The painting has been professionally framed. It measures 42.5 × 35 cm with the frame and 31 × 24 cm without the frame.
