The Studio, Christmas 1916 is a 1916 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a cluttered artist’s studio at Christmas. A man in a coat stands near a table, talking to a woman in a hat. Two kids play on the floor with a dog, while another child sits at a desk. Laundry hangs above, and a staircase leads upstairs. The artist left a signature in the corner—*Geo Bellows*—and the title says *The Studio, Christmas 1916*. The scene feels cozy but messy, like a real workspace. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
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.
