拍品专文

Elijah embodies Hawthorne's grasp and talent of unidealized, realistic figure painting. His portrait of Elijah is heralded as "what is perhaps the finest nude portrait of an elderly person in the history of American art." (W.H. Gerdts, The Great American Nude: A History of Art, New York, 1974, p. 162.)
