1905
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Gertrude and Stephen, No. 6 is a 1905 by Muirhead Bone, depicting Breastfeeding, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two people, Gertrude and Stephen. They are sitting in a quiet room. The thing that makes this work interesting is that it gives us a glimpse into everyday life in the early 20th century, and the way the artist used light and shadow to create a sense of calm is notable. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
Sir Muirhead Bone (23 March 1876 – 21 October 1953) was a Scottish etcher and watercolourist who became known for his depiction of industrial and architectural subjects and his work as a war artist in both the First and Second World Wars.
