Age:

A joyful, wide-smiling 12-year-old girl with light brown ponytail and freckles, wearing a sky-blue jacket, holds a wicker basket of colored eggs and places a white striped stone beside a chalk arrow on the grass; her teasing but tender ~14-year-old brother with short brown hair and a green jacket stands behind her holding a speckled egg with slightly dirt-stained hands; their smiling ~38-year-old mother with hair tied back and a flour-dusted apron stands left by a picnic table with buns, watching kindly. A small anthropomorphic gray hare named Sprig with marble-blue eyes and a satchel stands on hind legs before the girl, mischievous and guiding. Morning park setting with green grass dotted with yellow daffodils, an old oak with colorful roots, ribbon garlands strung between two rakes forming an arch, and bright chalk arrows on stones and the path. Main scene: the girl discovers the decorated arch and follows a trail of eggs and small shiny pebbles leading to the "Bright Patch"; soft light, saturated colors, visible gouache textures (brushstrokes, washes, pigment marks), festive warm atmosphere.
