More about this artwork

In this intriguing and humorous black-and-white sketch by Albert Engström, titled "At Elementary School," we glimpse a moment rich with character and narrative captured in the artist's distinctive style. The artwork portrays a scene in an elementary classroom featuring a stern, bearded teacher and three young students, each exhibiting reactions that range from mischievous glee to startled apprehension.Engström's talent for expressive caricatures is evident in the exaggerated features of both the teacher and the students. The teacher, with his pronounced beard and deep-set features, looms large over the students, embodying an almost theatrical severity that contrasts starkly with the lively, animated expressions of the children. One child, peering gleefully around the teacher, seems to relish the interaction, while the other, notably more apprehensive, appears taken aback, his eyes wide and mouth agape.This artwork not only captures the timeless dynamic between teacher and student but also reflects the playful yet incisive critique for which Engström is renowned.
