Ansiaux ~ Christ Blessing the Children

Ansiaux painted scenes from both sacred and profane history, including several portraits of generals of Napoleon. He is considered among the most accomplished of the French school of art in the 19th century.

“But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14

Little
by Dorothy Aldis

I am the sister of him
And he is my brother.
He is too little for us to talk
To each other.
So every morning I show him
My doll and my book;
But every morning
He still is too little to look.
