The artwork titled “The Red Top” was created by Robert Henri in the year 1910 using oil on canvas. It belongs to the American Realism movement and falls under the genre of portraiture. Presently, this piece is held in a private collection.
In the artwork, a young child is depicted standing against a dark background. The child’s bright red hair and striking red ribbon around the neck draw immediate attention, providing a vivid contrast to the muted tones of the background. The artist demonstrates masterful use of light and shadow, bringing out the subtle details in the child’s face and expression. The child’s arms are crossed in a pose that exudes both innocence and confidence. The overall composition and color palette create a striking and emotive portrait that captures the viewer’s attention and conveys a powerful sense of presence and character.
