子供の相互理解、福祉を増進させるため1954年に国際連合が制定した、「国際デー」の一つ。 国際連合では日付までは指定しておらず、それぞれの国に委ねられている。 多くでは、「児童の権利に関する宣言」" Declaration of the Rights of the Child" (1959) 「児童の権利に関する条約」 "United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child" (1989)が採択された11月20日を指定している。

Edna drops a note to her Charlie explaining her plight and asking him be her knight and save her. Charlie agrees. He arrives at Edna's home and impersonates the Count at dinner. Charlie humorously consumes beans with a knife, but still manages to keep up the facade of being a count. However, the true Count de Lime arrives and Charlie is roughly escorted away as an impostor. The count takes Edna to a nearby park to woo her, but Charlie is close by, as is Edna's father. Charlie interrupts the Count's romantic plans and begins a fight with the Count, Edna's father and three park policemen.

Today’s Doodle celebrates Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, a 1seminal Baroque artist who is widely regarded among the greatest Dutch painters of all time. On this day in 1995, an 2eponymous exhibition opened at Washington D.C.’s National Gallery of Art, featuring 21 of his 35 existing works.
Johannes Vermeer was born in Delft, the Netherlands, at the height of the Dutch Golden Age in 1632. Although little is known about Vermeer’s early life, historians estimate from his early mythological paintings that he first aspired to be a historical painter.

By the 1650s, Vermeer began to paint subtly lit interiors with 3intricate symbology－a style distinguished by traditional Dutch 4motifs that became his 5hallmark. He captured the commonplace in radiant and exquisite detail, creating masterworks including 6“The Girl with the Pearl Earring '' (1665) which is currently on display at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, the Netherlands. The artistic techniques Vermeer employed are still up for debate. Some art historians suggest he traced images projected from a 7camera obscura (a predecessor to the photographic camera), but with no physical evidence to back up such claims, some Vermeer specialists 8remain unconvinced.
On the left, the Doodle artwork references “The Allegory of Painting” (1666-1668) and in the middle, 9“Woman Writing a Letter, with her Maid” (1670-1671). In 1979, an X-ray revealed a hidden Cupid in Vermeer’s 10“Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window” (1657-1659), referenced on the right of the Doodle. Researchers continued to analyze the canvas in 2017, determining that the Cupid was covered by another painter. In 2021, a German initiative completely restored the painting. These efforts are just a few of the many attempts to demystify Vermeer and some of the world’s most treasured pieces of fine art he left behind.
Here’s to a true artistic luminary－Johannes Vermeer!
