More about this artwork
We are delighted to present a remarkable work by the esteemed American artist William James Glackens, titled "Everett Shinn" (ca. 1903). This exquisite red chalk drawing captures a quiet and introspective moment featuring Everett Shinn, a fellow artist and a member of the Ashcan School, like Glackens himself.In this drawing, Everett Shinn is depicted seated, his form relaxed yet attentive, suggesting a moment of contemplation or conversation. His figure is portrayed with fine, confident strokes, highlighting his angular face, the folded coat, and his casual posture with one leg crossed over the other. A hat rests elegantly on his knee, providing a personal and intimate touch to the composition.The use of red chalk allows Glackens to convey warmth and softness, while the skillful shading brings out the depth and texture of Shinn's clothing and the chair he occupies. The background remains unfilled, focusing all attention on the figure and emphasizing the simplicity and elegance of the moment.This piece not only showcases Glackens' mastery of the medium but also serves as a testament to the friendship and mutual respect shared among artists of the Ashcan School.
