The Portrait of Son of the Artist 

"The Portrait of Son of the Artist" is a tender depiction of a young boy, possibly the artist's own son, by renowned Russian artist Léon Bakst. The painting captures a moment of quiet contemplation as the boy sits in a highchair, his gaze fixed on a small, toy dog resting on the tray before him. The soft, muted palette and the boy's serene expression create a sense of intimacy and warmth, typical of Bakst's sensitive portrayal of childhood. This work showcases Bakst's talent for capturing the innocence and charm of youth, a common theme in his artistic practice.
