Child And Grandparent Reading Together In A Chair Coloring Page

A grandmother and a young child sit together in a deep armchair at the center of this page, sharing an open book held across both their laps. She leans her head down toward the child's, wearing round glasses, a scarf draped over her shoulders and a long robe that falls in soft folds to the floor. Her hair is swept up into a neat bun.

The child sits in front of her, turned out toward you, with short hair, large eyes and a wide smile, and both of their hands rest on the book together. Bare feet and small sandals show at the bottom.

The armchair is drawn with thick rolled arms that curl into spirals at the front, a high back, and stubby turned legs. To the left stands a tall pedestal holding a wide urn full of blooms.

Behind the chair a fan of flowers and fine curling scrollwork spreads right across the upper half of the sheet, drawn in a much lighter line than the figures. Not a word is printed on the open pages. The contrast between the heavy chair and the delicate background is the whole design.
