This oil painting shows a country scene. It is a portraits of a group of children, they are walking with their teacher. In the background there is the sky and open countryside, and a small country house takes up the right side of the painting.
In the foreground there is a woman, she is teacher, she is communicating with a boy in a blue shirt. The children are happy and funny. The weather is very warm, most likely this is summer. The colours are Green, yellow and blue in natural shades and the picture looks very realistic.
В общем, что-то типо того. Там если надо, то можно добавить, что-то, но я вроде бы описал все подробно. Успехов!
