The Masters Martin Atkin is a 1740 oil by Francis Hayman, a Rococo painting work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting depicts two young boys in a serene outdoor setting. The boy on the left sits on a tree stump, wearing a dark green jacket over a white shirt and white pants. He has curly hair and looks directly at the viewer. The boy on the right stands beside him, dressed in a light-colored jacket, white shirt, and white pants. He also has curly hair and looks at the viewer. A white parasol with a colorful design lies on the ground in front of them. The background features trees, a blue sky with white clouds, and a distant landscape with buildings. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast in the painting.
