About this work

This drawing shows a bare-chested child holding a small hourglass. The background is plain, but the child’s arms and legs are wrapped in red cloth. Around them, bright red flowers and a few green leaves stand out against a light yellow-brown paper. The child’s face is simple, with big eyes and dark hair. The hourglass might hint at time or life’s shortness, but the flowers add a softer touch. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, making everything look flat and clear. If you like this style, look up stippling next to see how artists build images with tiny dots.
