Reading Devotions to Grandfather (1893). Albert Anker (Swiss, 1831-1910). Oil on canvas. Kunstmuseum Bern.This work by Anker is a heart-tugging and rare portrayal of a young boy reading aloud to an ailing grandparent.The sick old man, propped up by pillows and hands folded on his lap blanket, seems content as he listens to his young grandson. The expression on the boy’s face is one of earnest and grave devotion to his reading—and also to his grandfather. -- source link
