Description
A young boy with a mop of curly reddish-brown hair leans low over a table, bent almost flat over a sheet of paper as he draws with a pen held tightly in his right hand. His other elbow props up his head, and he wears a loose olive-green smock gathered at the wrist with a soft white bow at the collar. Behind him a plain wooden chair and a bare grey-brown wall keep all attention on the boy’s total concentration, his eyes fixed on the marks taking shape under his hand, with a second loose sheet of paper visible at the table’s edge.
Painted in 1901 and held at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, this tender close-up study shows the artist’s own son absorbed in a child’s quiet, private task at the family table.
This reproduction of The Artist’s Son, Jean, Drawing is available as a hand-painted oil copy on canvas or as an archival giclee print, made to order in a range of sizes close to the original 45 x 54.6 cm format or scaled up, and delivered ready to hang.
