About this book

A child's pose, expression, and surroundings become clues to a painting's meaning in Estelle May Hurll's study of childhood in art. She groups selected works by subject, moving among idealized children, royal portraits, rural scenes, street life, angels, and images of the Christ child. Her discussion of Joshua Reynolds considers how a portrait can suggest a familiar childhood mood while leaving its sitter's social rank in the background.

Hurll also looks at Murillo's paintings of children in Seville, connecting their games and meals with the market streets where the painter worked. Her readings give attention to gestures, clothing, and the activities that make a scene tell a story. Readers interested in art interpretation can follow her comparisons while also examining the assumptions about happiness, poverty, and innocence that shape her account. The book offers a selective approach to its subject rather than a complete catalogue.
