1921
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Jean 1921, Second Stone is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a young girl with messy dark hair, turned slightly away. She’s wearing a simple white shirt with a dark collar, and her face looks serious. The background is just dark lines—no extra details. The drawing feels quick and rough, like it was done fast. The artist focused on the girl’s face and hair, leaving the rest simple. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and dark shapes can tell a story.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
