About the Original Artwork:
Children of the Sea portrays a touching scene of children at play by the ocean, using a sailing boat as their toy in the shallow waters. Painted in 1863 by Jewish Dutch painter Josef Israels, this artwork beautifully illustrates the innocence and joy of childhood. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, features four children dressed in their working-class clothing. The largest child, a boy, carries a younger sibling on his back, while a toy boat floats before them.

Children of the Sea Pattern
I've worked with large pattern from Serenity before and loved it, and have wanted to do this Dutch painting for a long time. So I'm really happy and grateful that it's now available! I'm looking forward to starting it!
