Les Petits Jardiniers
Antoine Plamondon · 1857
Why it's great
Two small children dig and plant in a garden, with their gardening tools. Antoine Plamondon, a Quebec painter, made this charming scene of childhood. It's one of his less formal pictures. It shows how Canadian painters also painted scenes of everyday life.
