Cory 1907

"Cory" is a portrait of a young boy, painted in 1907 by Robert Henri, a prominent figure in the American realist movement. The painting captures the boy's playful spirit through his bright, infectious smile, and Henri's loose, gestural brushstrokes evoke a sense of immediacy and spontaneity. Henri's realist style emphasized the portrayal of ordinary people and scenes, showcasing the beauty and dignity of everyday life, and "Cory" embodies this approach.
