专家说明

This pensive study of Paul fils, possibly drawn while the boy was reading, is not directly related to any of the oil portraits done in the early 1880s, when the artist's son was about nine years old (cf. Rewald, nos. 463-468), although this depiction of young Paul with his head only slightly turned and his eyes lowered is similar to R. 467 (fig. 1, private collection). This study is typical of the informal and spontaneous manner in which the artist drew those closest to him, resulting in a poignancy and warmth seldom apparent in the paintings.
