Playing children outdoors was a pretty common genre subject for its epoque. But let’s see what is unusual here: The young princess studied painting and made a portrait of the popular teacher August Allebé in 1886, which indicates that she probably attended a few of his open studio lessons for ladies in Amsterdam, but also indicated that she had not given up painting after her marriage. Painted in oils on canvas.
