This endearing Prior School portrait is of a young boy in a blue dress. He has a cherubic face, bright blue eyes, and ginger hair.  He is holding a rattle which was an accessory that early portrait artists frequently used to indicate that the sitter is a boy.  Painted on artist board, this portrait is in original grain painted frame and is in excellent original condition. 
Ex. Zoler Collection, Sotheby's, January 2005; Barbara Pollack; Private Collection.  Dimensions:  sight 9.5" x 13.5; frame 12.25" x 16.25".
