GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Lighthearted urchins like this were a profitable stock-in-trade for Frank Duveneck, who went to Munich at age twenty-two to study at the Royal Bavarian Academy. The broad brushwork and unblended dark colors of this portrait reveal Duveneck's admiration for old-master painting techniques, which he adapted to depictions of urban street life.
Adapted from
William Keyse Rudolph, DMA label copy (1951.17), May 2006.
