I love the sweet smile of the lady in the pink dress. Also the hungry baby/toddler reaching for his mother's breast featured in the garden sculpture. “Mama give me the foods!”
There are some lovely touches in the compositions for sure! My cynical head says they are quite commercial (and why not) and I’m not sure I want them on my wall.
This is a period in art to which I have paid no attention whatsoever. The first painting you show and The Swing are the only two I am really familiar with though I have seen most of them when visiting The Wallace Collection. The little boy as Pierrot is just charming! Thank you for this!

It’s not a period in art that I would probably hang on my wall (with a few exceptions) but I found it very interesting to learn about too!
