Portrait of a Child Eastman Johnson (American, 1824-1906). , 1879. Oil on canvas, 50 15/16 x 32 in. ( x cm). Although Eastman Johnson regularly depicted his daughter, Ethel, at play, this portrait’s relatively large scale and loose application of paint was a departure from earlier work. By the late 1870s, Johnson was a well-established painter and deliberately altered his style to keep pace with a new generation of Munich-trained Realist painters known for their bravura brushwork, including William Merritt Chase.
