Blythe," Pittsburgh, 1950, p. 44; 61; 130, illus. This painting was executed "circa" 1857-18599. Blythe painted a large number of urchins, a theme popular with painters and illustrators of the time. Dorothy Miller considered the present painting as one of his best efforts in the genre: "There are two paintings of little schoolboys which are more maturely painted than any of the other urchin paintings... In "On the Sly" the same type of round-faced youngster sits before his desk. He has raised a United States Spelling Book to the side of his face to hide his munching of a piece of raisin bread. One elbow rests on a paper-backed book. On the desk are an inkwell, his lunch basket, and his hat." (Miller, p. 61) The Property of A CORPORATE COLLECTOR See footnote 1 for this sale.
