DescriptionThis painting shows two children sitting on the apex of a roof, as they gaze at a moon. They are looking out across an urban setting with a smoking chimney on the left. The girl is wearing a white nightdress, turned blue in the darkness of the night and the boy's features are indistinguishable. Even though this is a night scene, the luminosity of the moon is reminiscent of a setting sun, turning the sky pink.
