Artist's Son 1925

"Artist's Son" (1925) is a portrait painting by Ukrainian artist Fedir Krychevsky. It depicts a young boy, presumably the artist's son, standing in a casual pose with a whip in his hand. The painting's warm, earthy tones and simplified forms are characteristic of Krychevsky's style, which drew inspiration from both Impressionism and Ukrainian folk art traditions. The subject's relaxed stance and direct gaze create a sense of intimacy, suggesting a tender moment between father and son. The painting is an excellent example of Krychevsky's skill in portraying the innocence and vitality of childhood.
