Christian 1910

"Christian" is a pastel drawing by Alice Pike Barney, created in 1910. The work depicts a portrait of a young man, likely a member of Barney's social circle. The subject, Christian, is presented in a simple yet elegant composition, with his head and shoulders filling the frame. Barney's signature, along with the date and the inscription "Studio House," suggest this was a personal work, possibly a study for a larger painting or a gift for the sitter. The soft, muted colors and delicate lines of the pastel create a sense of intimacy and realism in this portrait.
