Children is a graphic print on paper done with monochromatic etching with aquatint made by Somnath Hore (1921–2006) in 1958. The experience of the Bengal Famine of 1943, left a lasting impression on him. His early sketches and drawings were spot and life drawings of hapless victims of the famine, suffering and dying peasants, sick and infirm destitute, and portraits of men, women, children and animals.

Somanth Hore’s some other artworks include Peasants’ Meeting, Wounded Animal, The Child, Mother with Child, Mourners and the Unclad Beggar Family.
