    Camille Pissarro (French, 1830–1903)

    A girl stands barefoot in the grass, her small frame dwarfed by the geese she tends. Sunlight dapples the scene, softening the edges of her straw hat and the birds’ white feathers. The air hums with quiet movement—rustling wings, shifting feet, the unspoken bond between child and flock.

    Tadeusz Makowski (Polish, 1882–1932)

    A child stands alone before a house, their small figure dwarfed by angular walls. The scene hums with quiet tension—something unseen lingers in the stark geometry of the building, the way shadows cling to the child’s silhouette. Poland’s muted colors whisper a story half-told.

    Innocence (1873)

    William Bouguereau (French, 1825–1905)

    A barefoot child sits with folded hands, eyes cast downward. White fabric drapes over small shoulders, sunlight catching the folds. A single feather rests near her feet—soft, weightless, out of place. The air feels still, as if holding its breath.

    The Sistine Madonna (between 1512 and 1513)

    Raphael (Italian, 1483-1520)

    The Virgin steps through parted curtains, the Christ child in her arms. Two cherubs rest below, gazing upward with solemn wonder. Green drapes frame the scene like a stage, revealing clouds where faint faces emerge. Her bare feet barely touch the ground—a mother suspended between heaven and earth.
