1851 Black Crayon Ink Wash Isidore Pils Poor Study Outstretched Arms
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of compassion and selflessness in Isidore Pils' "Young Man Leaning Forward Outstretched Arms Study". Created around 1851, this study serves as a preliminary work for Pils' renowned painting titled "Soldiers Distributing Bread to the Poor". The young man depicted in this artwork leans forward with his arms outstretched, symbolizing an act of generosity and care towards those less fortunate. His posture exudes empathy and a genuine desire to alleviate the suffering of others. The artist's masterful use of oil, brown oil wash or ink wash, and black crayon brings depth and texture to the composition. Pils, a French painter born between 1813-1815, was known for his ability to capture human emotions with great sensitivity. In this particular piece, he beautifully portrays the connection between soldiers distributing bread to impoverished individuals during a time when poverty plagued society. Measuring at approximately 33.8 x 26.9 cm (13 5/16 x 10 9/16 in. ), this print showcases Pils' artistic prowess while serving as a poignant reminder of our shared responsibility to help those in need.
