This picture shows many strange shapes and

This oil painting shows a country scene. It is a

portrait of a group of schoolchildren on a

Sunday school walk with their teacher. In the

background is the sky and the open

countryside and on the right is a country

the centre surrounded by her pupils. The

children are enjoying themselves and some of

them are holding flowers, so it may be

springtime. The colours are pale shades of

blue, green, red and brown. The painting looks

very natural.
