Here, a group of children is bundled up in hats, gloves, and jackets. This finely-drawn lithograph features Zalopany’s characteristic mastery of light and dark, from the bright winter sunlight catching the children’s hats, to the knit texture of their gloves in shadow. The heart patterns on the children’s hats are a tender addition to this intimate portrait. Chine-collé was used to produce this print, a technique in which an image is printed onto one sheet of paper, then seamlessly affixed to another, highlighting the texture and color of both sheets. In Children, a bright white background highlights Zalopany’s rich, dimensional drawing style, while a pale-yellow paper subtly frames the image.
