Caption:
Nine smiling young people, the grandchildren of artist John Robinson, sit around a table covered with art supplies. Three display their drawings, while others look up from their work or continue without interruption. The realist painting is notable for exacting details, such as the sheen of the polished wood chairs and the patterns on the porcelain in the china closet, as well as for capturing the warmth and intimacy of this gathering. The pride on the children’s faces reflects the artist’s pride in his family.
