Paintings from the People & Places gallery at The Beaney
Lots of our most popular paintings at the museum are portraits of children. Here are some of our favourites. All of these paintings were painted by different artists at different times. They can help us understand what life might have been like for children at different times in history.
Gutter Apples by Ian Hunter
Often a portrait focuses on people’s faces but this painting has a very unusual composition. We can only see the people in the painting from the waist down, which makes it an interesting painting to investigate.
