EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tender moment from the early years of renowned French painter Ary Scheffer. Born in the Netherlands, Scheffer's artistic journey began at a young age, as depicted in this wood engraving from around 1870. In the image, we see a young Scheffer engrossed in his first attempt at drawing. With chalk in hand and intense concentration on his face, he carefully sketches on a piece of paper laid out before him. His cousin stands by his side, observing with curiosity and admiration for her talented relative. The setting is simple yet charming—a Dutch wall serves as the backdrop while an assortment of dolls and toys lie scattered nearby. The girl's braided pigtail adds to the innocence and playfulness of their shared moment. This snapshot into Scheffer's childhood highlights not only his early passion for art but also hints at the support he received from loved ones during his formative years. It offers us an intimate glimpse into the beginnings of one of France's most celebrated painters. Granger Art on Demand presents this wood engraving with great care and respect for its historical significance. As you admire this print, let your imagination transport you back to that humble room where Ary Scheffer took his very first steps towards becoming an artistic legend.
