A tender charcoal study of a young boy cradling a lamb in his arms, rendered with soft, expressive shading around the eyes and hands that draws the eye straight to the quiet exchange between subject and animal. The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner, though not fully legible in the photo. Presented in a black wood frame with a double mat in cream and dark taupe tones, the piece shows minor glass glare typical of glass-covered artwork but no visible tears, foxing, or damage to the paper itself. A gentle, well-composed portrait ready to anchor a reading room or hallway gallery wall.
