Boys Flying a Kite

Sir William Orpen 1878 - 1931

Summary

Two male nudes facing to the right, the taller of the two to the back. The two boys are standing and holding on to a taut rope which stretches above them and to the right. They are straining backwards and have their arms streteched upwards and to the right. Both have their left leg forward to brace themselves. They both have short hair. There is no background detail, but a shadow is cast to the left of the picture, behind the subjects.
