    Caption

    Nine smiling young people, the grandchildren of artist John Robinson, sit around a table covered with art supplies. Three display their drawings, while others look up from their work or continue without interruption. The realist painting is notable for exacting details, such as the sheen of the polished wood chairs and the patterns on the porcelain in the china closet, as well as for capturing the warmth and intimacy of this gathering. The pride on the children’s faces reflects the artist’s pride in his family.

    Nueve jóvenes sonrientes, los nietos del artista John Robinson, se sientan alrededor de una mesa cubierta de materiales artísticos. Tres de ellos muestran sus dibujos, mientras que otros levantan la vista de su trabajo o prosiguen sin interrupción. El cuadro realista se destaca por la precisión en los detalles, como el brillo en las sillas de madera pulida y los dibujos de la vajilla de porcelana del armario, así como por captar la calidez y la intimidad de la reunión. El orgullo en los rostros de los niños refleja el orgullo del artista por su familia.
