More about this artwork

"Istuva poika, harjoitelma" (Sitting Boy, Study) by Alfred William Finch is a captivating example of the artist's exploration into the human form. This delicate charcoal drawing presents a young male figure seated, engaged in the act of reading. The figure's nonchalant posture and partially silhouetted face suggest a moment of private reflection, his attention captured wholly by the papers in his hands.Finch's mastery in rendering the smooth contours and subtle musculature of the body with minimal strokes lends a tender realism to the work. The light and shadow play across the form enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, imbuing the young boy with a tangible presence. The undefined background ensures the viewer’s focus remains unswervingly on the subject, further emphasizing the intimacy of the depicted moment.This drawing, marked with Finch’s distinct, soft yet precise charcoal technique, is not just a study of physical form but also an exploration of quietude and contemplation in youth.

Alfred William Finch (1854-1930) was a Neo-Impressionist artist born to British parents in Brussels, Belgium. His works utilized the color palette and Pointillism technique, which were shared by other significant figures of the Neo-Impressionism movement, including Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and Georges Seurat. Finch was among the founding members of Les XX (Les Vingt), a group of twenty artists based in Brussels that challenged antiquated and conservative artistic traditions and academism. The group held annual art exhibitions, greatly influencing the development of Neo-Impressionism. In his later years, Alfred William Finch also produced ceramics and pottery, decorated with a fusion of his familiar Neo-Impressionism, Arts and Crafts, and Belgian Art Nouveau styles. His artworks primarily portray the atmospheric beauty of nature and the countryside along the Channel coast. Alfred William Finch spent the majority of his artistic career in Helsinki, where he passed away in 1930.
