Description: | Signed: yes Description: Oval head and shoulders portrait of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy between 7 and 9 years of age, against a buff background. He wears a blue sailor suit, white undershirt with gold coloured buttons. The face is rendered quite sentimental by the enormous eyes. The costume, the huge, upturned eyes and long eye-lashes reflect nineteenth century ideas of childhood as a pure, innocent state. The painting has a dry, 'chalky' finish which allows the coarse grained canvas to show through. The lack of any precise textures or gloss give it an unfinished, sketch-like quality, though there are no visible brush strokes. | Subjects: | portrait (Lee Warner C.B.) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gruder, J.
