Boy with a Drawing Book
Nicolas Bernard Lépicié, c. 1772
This is typical of the ‘sentimental’ studies of children that found such favour in France during the second half of the 18th century. It may be a portrait of a pupil or child of the artist. The painting is still in its original 18th-century frame.
