Eduard, the Artist's Infant Son 1842

"Eduard, the Artist's Infant Son" is a pencil drawing on paper created by Julius Hübner in 1842. The artwork depicts the artist's son, Eduard, as a baby, sitting in a highchair. Hübner, a German artist known for his portraiture and genre scenes, captures the child's innocent gaze and delicate features with remarkable detail. The drawing's simple composition and realistic portrayal of the subject create a sense of intimacy and tenderness, characteristic of 19th-century portraiture. The inscription "Eduard" and the date "1842" at the bottom of the drawing further emphasize the personal nature of the work.
