Brother and sister

A girl in a red dress and a boy in a red sweater and shorts stand facing each other in a farmyard, the boy holding something small in his fingers. Around them are a wooden well, a ladder leaning against a tree, a grazing goat and a black-and-white calf, while a stork perches on the peak of a dark barn roof under a star-filled sky.

Flat, evenly lit forms and finely stippled texture give the scene a decorative, storybook quality, with the deep blue night sky shading into pink at the horizon. The muted earth tones of the figures' skin and hair contrast with the saturated red clothing, producing a quiet, dreamlike hush.
