1822
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketch Book for the Use of Small Children: The Young Amateurs is a 1822 by Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows three children gathered around a sign on a wall. The children are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, with the two on the left wearing hats and the one on the right sitting down. The sign behind them has some writing on it, but it's not clear what it says. The painting has a rough, sketchy quality to it, with visible lines and textures. The colors are muted, with lots of grays and browns. The overall effect is one of simplicity and innocence. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet was a French painter and printmaker, more especially of military subjects.
