The Children of Edward is an oil on canvas painting by French painter Paul Delaroche, created in 1830.

The two princes were declared illegitimate through the act known as Titulus Regius, so the council of safety decreed their uncle, who became Richard III, as successor.

[3][4] The episode of the princes in the Tower also appears at the end of an act of the play Richard III, by William Shakespeare, which knew a wide diffusion in France at the time.

Several elements of the canvas give a late medieval atmosphere: one of the children holds a book where there is a miniature of the Annunciation of Mary; the medallion with a goldsmith's work; and the decoration of the bed.

Several English references shown are the royal emblems at the foot of the bed and the ribbon of the Order of the Garter on the leg of one of children..[5] In 1831 it was bought by the French state for 6000 francs and placed in the Luxembourg Museum.
