About Child's drawing

The artwork titled “Child’s drawing” is a piece by Aleksandr Deyneka, created in 1903. It is associated with the Naive Art (Primitivism) movement and belongs to the genre of sketch and study.

The image presents a simplistic and whimsical drawing, which appears to be done in a naive style characteristic of child-like artistry. It features several figures: a person holding what seems to be a leash attached to an animal, possibly a horse, which is decorated with spots. There are other figures as well, including a person holding a bag or case and individuals that could be interpreted as being on bicycles or similar wheeled devices. An additional animal figure is floating above, which has an elongated body and could be interpreted as a mythical or fanciful creature due to its form and pattern. The background is a plain paper that shows signs of age and wear with stains and creases, giving the artwork an authentic, aged appearance. The simplicity of the lines and the directness of the drawing techniques contribute to the charm and raw aesthetic that one would associate with the Naive Art movement.
