Description |
The portrait represents a child with short, curling hair, in the garment of a young boy: a bright red frock, with undershirt visible at the neck and cuffs. A vivid blue robe wraps his body below the waist. He is depicted outdoors, with trees behind him providing a dark background for his head and body. In the far distance is a hillside with a single tree standing on it, and a patch of sky visible at the upper left of the canvas. The child faces the viewer squarely, his left hand raised in salute; his right arm, bent at the elbow, rests on a raised hill? covered with red. Behind him is a curtain of red cloth. |

Object history | This image of Franklin's young son "Franky" is a memorial rather than a true portrait, since its subject had died of smallpox some time before it was painted. The child's pose and clothing, and the background of drapery and wooded landscape, are derived from the 1689 mezzotint of young Lord Euston by John Smith, which is after the portrait by Godfrey Kneller. | ||||||||||||||||||||
