19th Century Watercolour - Children Playing in the Hall

Description

A houseful of children are caught mid-mischief in this characterful Victorian watercolour: one boy carries a smaller child on his shoulders, while another sits on the banister. Other children gather in the hallway below, where a boy holds a book aloft. Painted with fine detail, the scene is full of lively energy and charm. Well presented in a gilt frame. Unsigned. On paper.
