Berna Escudero 1922

"Berna Escudero" is a 1922 oil painting by American artist Robert Henri (1865-1929). The painting depicts a young boy, Berna Escudero, in a three-quarter profile view, with his face illuminated by a warm light. His dark hair, simple clothes, and somber expression create a sense of quiet introspection, characteristic of Henri’s realist style. This painting, like many of Henri's works, captures the essence of everyday life and portrays the inherent beauty and dignity of ordinary people. The artist's bold brushstrokes and use of color add depth and vibrancy to the portrait.
