Artamonoff P277, Myron Bement Smith Collection, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives, Smithsonian Institution.

A large group of children gathered on and around the remains of a collapsed wall [1937].

Children and Artamonoff seem to have a mutual fascination with each other. They sat still and posed before they most likely went back to their games in and around the medieval structure (perhaps the apse of a church) in the background.
