About
Early 20th century engraving of Edouard Manet's "Boy with Sword" by notable artist Henry Wolf. Manet's stepson, Léon Koëlla-Leenhoff, posed for the original work in 1861. Manet dressed him in a seventeenth-century costume, adding a period sword as a prop—a tribute to the great Spanish painters he admired, notably Velázquez. Signed and dated by Wolf in the front lower right corner. Currently hung in a gold frame with a cream matting.
