Portræter AF Fire Børn Ved Frokosten: Rigmor - Ingrid Vér Og Astrid Kjær", painted in 1877 by Peder Severin Krøyer, is an evocative representation of childhood and daily life in Denmark during the nineteenth century.

In the foreground of the composition there are four children who seem to be enjoying a lunch. Each figure is carefully modeled, which reveals Krøyer's talent for portraits. Children's faces are full of expression; Their looks and gestures convey an air of innocence and curiosity. The three girls, Rigmor, Ingrid and Astrid, are gathered around a table, while a child, remember, complete the scene. The proximity of the characters suggests a friendly interaction, a moment of camaraderie that Krøyer captures with remarkable skill.
In terms of composition, children's disposition generates a dynamic balance in the painting.

The chromatic range is rich and varied, with a predominance of soft and cheerful tones that evoke a feeling of happiness and carefreeness.
This Krøyer work is also an exploration of the relationship between children and their surroundings. The simple background, which does not distract the attention of the characters, allows the viewer to concentrate on the interaction between them. Although the family or social context in which the scene develops is not clearly detailed, the work suggests holiday and coexistence moments.

The intimacy of the represented moment invites the viewer to remember his own childhood, to explore the relationship between innocence and experience. His style, influenced by impressionism, is reflected not only in the technique, but also in the way he manages to encapsulate a fleeting moment in the life of these children.
The work "Børnegruppe" stands as a beautiful testimony of the mastery of Peder Severin Krøyer, an artist who knew how to interpret the Danish life of his time and who, through this group portrait, offers us an endearing and nostalgic look towards childhood towards childhood .
