The Sackville Children is a painting created in 1796 by John Hoppner. It is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The painting measures 1.245 meters in width and 1.524 meters in height. The artwork depicts three children, two girls and a boy, standing outdoors in a landscape setting. The girls wear white dresses, and the boy is dressed in a dark jacket and orange trousers. The children appear to be siblings, and the scene suggests a moment of quiet interaction or contemplation. The background features trees and a softly rendered sky.
