Atherton Loring Jr. Age 6 of Boston's Duxbury, Massachusetts 1906

"Atherton Loring Jr. Age 6 of Boston's Duxbury, Massachusetts" is a portrait painting by American artist Frank W. Benson, created in 1906. The painting depicts a young boy, Atherton Loring Jr., seated in a relaxed posture, wearing a brown jacket and a white collar. The natural light and loose brushstrokes characteristic of Benson's Impressionistic style create a sense of spontaneity and realism. The painting's subtle background of trees and foliage adds depth and context to the portrait. This work exemplifies Benson's mastery of portraiture, his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, and his keen eye for detail.
