Q23948054

Oil painting of a group of poor children and adults resting on stone steps beside tall columns, with a young woman standing at left and a turbaned man seated at right. A barefoot toddler in blue sits in front and a girl in white lifts her arm; muted warm tones and soft light lend a quiet, sorrowful mood.

Español: Niños pobres en las escaleras, pintura al óleo

Óleo de un grupo de niños y adultos pobres sentados en escalones de piedra junto a altas columnas, con una joven de pie a la izquierda. Un niño descalzo de azul se sienta al frente y una niña de blanco levanta el brazo; tonos cálidos y luz suave crean un ambiente melancólico.
