Summary

Description
English: Watercolor, bodycolor, and gum arabic on paper, with scratching out

10 1/2 X 7 3/4 in; 25 X 17 cm.

This is probably the watercolor exhibited by William Henry Hunt at the 1833 Spring Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water-Colours under the title, A Young Negro. It is remarkable in that the artist painted such an objective image of a young Black boy at a time when most artists resorted to caricature and stereotypes when depicting subjects with Black models.
