Lovely painting showing history and culture with the formally dressed children in a sweet moment having picked flowers in the garden. May be an idealized image with kids being so well behaved. Perhaps something to hang on the wall to set an example as time and society progressed in the 20th century.

Thanks. Yes it is going on our office area where our kids do their art, etc. The image looks like a tudor period piece, and times was definitely different for children, wether poor or rich.
