Rajzoló kisfiú (Boy Drawing)

Rajzoló kisfiú (Boy Drawing) is a self-portrait of György Rauscher as a child. Számadó captions it as a picture of the artist’s childhood self (kép gyermekkori önmagáról).

A boy of about ten sits on a folding camp-stool in a garden, bent over a sketchbook on his lap and drawing with a pencil, in a striped short-sleeved shirt with dark shorts, stockings, and boots. The handling is warm and naturalistic, from well before his turn to New Objectivity.

It is among the earliest images of the precocious gift recorded on /biography/origins.
