Ten Minute Sketch
1896 · Private Collection, American
Ten Minute Sketch is a 1896 portrait by the Russian artist Victor Stember.
This watercolor painting was referred to by the artists daughter Natasha as 'A Ten Minute Sketch'. Stember often did these before including the person in a larger oil painting. To date, the family has been unable to locate such an oil painting using this little boy.
See oil paintings of 'The Temptation of St. Helerion and the Hermit, # 125 and 126 as an example of this technique.
