Did You Know?

William Sommer learned about Impressionism from fellow lithographer and Cleveland artist, Abel Warshawsky.
A grainy lithograph depicts a centered, half-length portrait of a boy gazing forward with wide, observant eyes and a closed mouth. His light skin and hair swept across his forehead are rendered in soft, charcoal-like shades. He wears a collared shirt, striped tie, and a three-buttoned cardigan, hands resting in his lap. Behind him, a dark rectangular form contrasts against the speckled background. Handwritten text marks the bottom left corner.
