Business Neglected 

"Business Neglected" is an etching by American artist John George Brown (1831–1913) depicting a young boy, casually dressed in a cap and striped shirt, seated on a wooden block and playing a simple pipe. Brown was renowned for his sentimental depictions of everyday life, particularly among working-class families. The boy's innocent focus on his music provides a charming contrast to the title, suggesting a moment of leisure amidst the demands of daily life. This etching, a popular form of printmaking, showcases Brown's skilled use of line to create a sense of depth and detail, capturing the boy's relaxed posture and the texture of his clothing.
