More about this artwork
This exquisite sketch, titled "Two Little Girls," was created by the English artist John Glover around 1810. Displaying Glover's keen observation skills and delicate handling of his medium, this drawing captures a tender and candid moment between two young girls seated closely together. The soft pencil strokes suggest a quiet, almost serene atmosphere, as one girl appears absorbed in reading a book, her attention fully engaged, while the other gazes gently outwards, perhaps lost in thought or simply enjoying the company of her companion.The artwork is characterized by a masterful use of light and shadow, which adds a rich depth to the composition, highlighting the textures of the girls' dresses and their playful, slightly tousled hair. The simplicity of the background focuses the viewer’s attention on the figures, emphasizing their youthful innocence and the intimate connection between them. Glover's ability to capture both the physical likeness and the fleeting emotions of his subjects makes this drawing an enduring reflection of childhood and friendship.
