"Leaving School" is a notable painting by the American-born French artist Daniel Ridgway Knight, who is renowned for his depictions of rural life and peasant scenes. Painted in the late 19th century, this work exemplifies Knight's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the serene beauty of everyday moments. The painting portrays a group of young schoolchildren, presumably from a rural village, as they leave their schoolhouse at the end of the day. The children are depicted in a naturalistic manner, with expressions and postures that convey a sense of innocence and curiosity.

Knight's use of light and color in "Leaving School" is particularly striking. The soft, diffused light of the late afternoon bathes the scene in a warm glow, enhancing the idyllic quality of the rural setting. The artist's skillful brushwork and keen observation of nature are evident in the detailed rendering of the children's clothing, the schoolhouse, and the surrounding landscape. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures arranged in a way that guides the viewer's eye through the scene, creating a sense of depth and movement.

"Leaving School" reflects Knight's broader artistic themes, which often celebrate the simplicity and tranquility of rural life. His works are characterized by a sense of nostalgia and an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. Knight's paintings were well-received during his lifetime, and he enjoyed considerable success in both Europe and the United States. Today, "Leaving School" is regarded as an exemplary piece of Knight's oeuvre, showcasing his technical prowess and his ability to evoke emotion through his art.
