EDITORS COMMENTS
Child with Strawberries, 1803-1805, by Joshua Johnson (1763-1824) This stunning oil on canvas painting, created by American artist Joshua Johnson between 1803 and 1805, captures the innocence and charm of childhood in the early 19th century. The full-length portrait depicts a young boy, dressed in fashionable clothing of the time, standing before a simple wooden chair. He gazes directly at the viewer, his expression both curious and playful, as he reaches out to pluck a ripe strawberry from a large, woven basket at his feet. The rich, vibrant colors of the boy's blue and pink apparel contrast beautifully with the lush, green foliage and the bright red of the strawberries. The painting is a testament to the artistic talent and cultural heritage of Johnson, who is considered one of the most important American folk artists of the 19th century. The location and provenance of the painting are not definitively known, but it is believed to have been created during Johnson's time in Baltimore, Maryland, where he established a successful portrait studio. The natural setting of the painting, with its flowering plants and fruit, reflects the strong connection between the American people and the land during this period. The use of oil on canvas mounted on board is a common technique of the time, and the high-quality materials and skillful execution demonstrate Johnson's mastery of the medium. This beautiful work of art is a precious reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the simple pleasures of childhood and the beauty of nature.
