The Governor's Grandsons is a 1898 oil by Edwin Blashfield, a American Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting shows three men in suits and white shirts. The man on the left stands with his hands on his hips, while the man in the middle sits with his hands on a table holding a map. The man on the right sits in a chair, holding a pair of glasses. The background is a room with a fireplace and a painting on the wall. The men are all dressed formally, and the atmosphere seems serious. The map on the table suggests they may be discussing a journey or a business venture. The artist who created this painting is Edwin Blashfield.
Edwin Howland Blashfield (December 5, 1848 – October 12, 1936) was an American painter and muralist, most known for painting the murals on the dome of the Library of Congress Main Reading Room in Washington, DC.
