Boy under Trees is a 1950 watercolor by Edna Clarke Hall, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting depicts a young boy standing under a tree, wearing a white shirt and dark shorts. He is holding something in his hands, possibly a bag or a toy. The boy is set against a backdrop of trees and a grassy field, with a few hills visible in the distance. The painting's colour palette is muted, with shades of green, brown, and blue dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The artist's use of watercolour creates a soft, dreamy quality that draws the viewer in. To learn more about the artist's technique and style, explore the work of Clarke Hall, Edna.
