About ‘Two Sleeping Children, Peter Paul Rubens’
Two Sleeping Children, Peter Paul Rubens (1612)
The two innocent sleeping children seen here are thought to be Clara and Philip, the children of Rubens's elder brother. This elder brother, Philip, was extremely close to Rubens and he died in 1611. He left two children, born in 1610 and 1611, and Rubens is thought to have created this study from his deep regard for his brother. Judging from the ages of the children, this work is thought to have been painted around 1612/1613.
