Portrait of the artist’s son Alexandre sketching in the artist’s studio (c.1922)
Portrait of the artist’s son Alexandre sketching in the artist’s studio (c.1922). Zinaida Serebriakova (Russian, 1884-1967). Pastel on paper.The portrait is imbued above all with a sense of ease, the lines freely and confidently executed with most attention to detail applied to Alexandre’s face. The young boy does not turn but appears oblivious to Serebriakova’s presence and continues to draw. His simple clothing and the absence of era-specific accoutrements introduce a timeless element to the work. -- source link
