1895
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
David R. Strang is a 1895 by William Strang, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a young boy, likely David R. Strang, sitting in a chair. He is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a high collar and a hat. The boy is holding a piece of paper in his left hand, and his right hand is resting on the arm of the chair. The background of the painting is a plain wall with a window or door frame on the right side. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the boy's clothing and the texture of the chair. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast in the painting, with the boy's face and hands lit up against the darker background. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
William Strang (13 February 1859 – 12 April 1921) was a Scottish painter and printmaker, notable for illustrating the works of Bunyan, Cervantes, Coleridge, Kipling, and others.
