About the Item
Signed upper right
Private Collection
Luks was famous for painting people from impoverished slum areas.
The work was most likely painted from life and portrays a youth haphazardly dressed. Luks describes the subject in quick rapid-fire brush strokes in the post-impressionist style.
On a recent trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I snapped this photo of a George Luks currently hanging. It's George Luks " The Old Duchess" who was a woman of depraved rank.
The condition is very good. There is a heavy layer of dammar varnish covering the work and yellowing it. When clean colors should sing. Scattered craquelure.
