Children in the Green
In this Post-Impressionist sketch titled 'Children in the Green', Ernst Schiess captures a peaceful moment of two youngsters sitting in a meadow. Dressed in soft pinks and blues, they gaze toward a looming blue mountain and a tiny crescent moon, surrounded by dark, scribbly trees. The loose, energetic brushwork leaves much of the brown background visible, giving the scene a raw, unfinished charm. It feels like a quick, spontaneous study painted outdoors to catch the fleeting atmosphere of a Swiss summer evening.
