Children in the Woods

Around 1910, Edward Dufner fully embraced Impressionism, turning from studio work to sunlit outdoor scenes. Celebrated as the "painter of sunshine," he became known for luminous depictions of the natural world. In this serene woodland, two children wander through green undergrowth as quick, broken brushstrokes capture the shimmer of summer light and the rustle of leaves. Blending Impressionist color with a distinctly American sense of place, Dufner evokes the fleeting beauty of childhood and the quiet harmony between people and nature.
