MacLellan, Charles Archibald (1885-1961) Original Oil on Canvas, Illustration of a Redheaded School Boy.
Signed oil on canvas, surface craquelure, some loss of surface, 18 3/4 x 24 in.
MacLellan was a Canadian artist who was responsible for creating forty-four original works for Saturday Evening Post covers between 1913 and 1936. This particular mischievous redhead shows up in other works. The boy's expression is distracting, but he clearly has a nail attached to his boot and the boy unfortunate enough to be seated in front of him has an unpleasant surprise coming.
