Emanuel Leutze painted the scene of children searching for bird nests. Young figures climb and explore in a natural setting, capturing a moment of childhood adventure. Leutze, best known for historical paintings, here turned to genre subjects.
The German-American artist brought his narrative skills to this domestic scene. Every pose tells part of the story. The work is held at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC.
