The wintry scene evokes feelings of coldness and despair as these orphaned siblings brave the harsh elements to survive. The harp symbolizes their only source of solace amidst their struggles, offering them an escape from their bleak reality. Calderon's masterful brushstrokes bring out the emotions in this sentimental piece. The artist skillfully portrays the children's longing gazes and delicate features, inviting viewers to empathize with their plight.
