"A Painter's First Work", by Marcus Stone in the Royal Academy Exhibition, 1862. Engraving of a painting. Our little incipient painter...has been left at home in an empty room. We may fancy that he has looked long and often at the Lely-like portrait of a lady...with no eye to observe and no hand to check, the irresistible imitative impulse, or rather the first...inspiration of genius, prompts him to seize the chalk and copy what has so long held him under a spell. He does so, and, as a "first work, " even this rough chalk sketch has abundant indication of a special natural gift and faculty. Just as he has finished his outline...the father returns...seeing the panels of the oak press scrawled all over and disfigured with chalk, he turns to scold the little fellow for, as he thinks, slovenliness and idleness, and to threaten him with the consequences of a repetition of the offence. The boy, surprised and detected, stands abashed; but still, as if conscious of having been incited by something pure and noble, his look of timid deprecation is mingled with the trace of a wish to justify himself...The older gentleman...sees in the rough chalkwork the germs of what may bear glorious fruit; and he at once checks the father's inconsiderate anger'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Painter's First Work" by Marcus Stone, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1862, captures a poignant moment in the life of a budding artist. The painting, which is depicted in this engraving, shows a young boy seated in an empty room, intently focused on a portrait hanging on the wall. With no one to observe or interrupt him, the irresistible urge to create takes hold, and he reaches for a piece of chalk to sketch the image before him. The rough chalk drawing, though imperfect, reveals the boy's special natural gift and faculty for art. As he finishes the outline of the portrait, the father enters the room, shocked to find the panels of the oak press covered in chalk marks. Believing his son to be slovenly and idle, he scolds him and threatens consequences for such behavior. However, the older gentleman in the room, perhaps sensing the boy's creative inspiration, intervenes and sees the potential in the rough sketch. He checks the father's anger and instead encourages the boy, recognizing the germs of what may one day bear glorious fruit. This engraving from the Illustrated London News of 1862 provides a glimpse into the early stages of an artist's journey, filled with the innocence of childhood curiosity and the encouragement of those who recognize and nurture raw talent.
