"Les petits goelands" (The Little Seagulls) is a painting by French artist Virginie Demont-Breton (1859–1935), created in 1883. The artwork is a notable example of Demont-Breton's focus on marine and coastal themes, reflecting her life in the fishing village of Wissant in the Pas-de-Calais, where she was deeply integrated into the local community and inspired by the lives of fishermen and their families.

The painting depicts a group of children, presumably from a fishing community, playing on the beach with seagulls around them. It captures the innocence of childhood against the backdrop of the harsh and demanding life by the sea. Demont-Breton's work is characterized by its realism and sensitivity to the subject matter, often highlighting the strength and resilience of women and children in coastal societies.

As a member of the artistic movement in France known as Naturalism, Demont-Breton's work is marked by a commitment to depicting everyday life and social conditions with truth and accuracy. Her paintings often convey a strong sense of narrative and emotional depth, and "Les petits goelands" is no exception. The piece is imbued with a sense of the vastness of the sea and sky, contrasting with the smallness yet boldness of the children at play.

Virginie Demont-Breton was the daughter of the painter Jules Breton and became an influential figure in her own right. She served as the president of the Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs and was a respected member of the Société des Artistes Français. Her work was widely exhibited in her lifetime, including at the Paris Salon, where she received numerous awards and accolades.

"Les petits goelands" is a testament to Demont-Breton's skill in capturing the essence of coastal life and her contribution to French art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a piece that offers insight into the cultural and social dynamics of its time.
