A Boy 1882

“A Boy” is a black and white etching by James Wells Champney from 1882. The etching depicts a young boy standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his face slightly tilted upward and a mischievous grin on his face. The boy is wearing a white shirt and dark trousers, and his bare feet are visible. The image is likely a portrait study, as the focus is on the boy's expression and the way he stands. Champney is known for his paintings, particularly of landscapes and genre scenes, but he also produced etchings and drawings.
