"Hide and Seek" is an oil painting by the 19th-century British artist William Henry Knight (1823–1863), which depicts a charming scene of domestic life, capturing the innocence and playfulness of childhood. Knight, who was known for his genre paintings, often portrayed scenes of everyday life, and "Hide and Seek" is a quintessential example of his work in this area.

Completed in 1854, the painting shows a group of children engaged in the eponymous game. The central focus is on a young girl who is covering her eyes and counting, presumably against a tree or wall, while other children are scattered around the scene looking for places to hide. The work is characterized by its fine detail, warm tones, and the engaging expressions of the children, which convey a sense of excitement and anticipation.

"Hide and Seek" is often noted for its ability to evoke nostalgia for the simplicity and joy of childhood. Knight's attention to detail not only in the figures but also in the surrounding environment, such as the foliage and play of light, adds to the painting's charm and realism. The artwork is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with childhood innocence and the moral value placed on family life.

As a genre painter, Knight's works, including "Hide and Seek," were popular in Victorian England, as they resonated with the middle-class audience of the time, reflecting their own lives and values. Today, the painting is appreciated for its historical context as well as its aesthetic qualities and is considered an important work in Knight's oeuvre.

"Hide and Seek" is held in a public collection, allowing art enthusiasts and the general public to view and appreciate this delightful window into Victorian childhood. The painting continues to be a subject of interest for scholars studying the period's art and social history, as well as for visitors who are drawn to its timeless appeal.
