Children Asleep Under A Tree

Children Asleep Under A Tree is a graceful hand-colored xylograph print, born presumably as an illustration of a book for children, unidentified, written by the French author Claude Farrère . The print was made by an anonymous artist and printed on green paper.

The state of preservation is very good, except for a light yellowing of the paper on the lower margin and the missing lower right corner.

The two youngsters, a boy and a girl, wear Nordic garments, probably Dutch, and are sleeping under a big tree.

The work is very pleasant and imaginative. For this reason, it is particularly suitable for childhood.
