"John de Laszlo and a Goldfish Bowl" by Philip Alexius de László (circa 1918), is a captivating portrait of a young child, likely the artist’s son, John. The boy gazes intently at a goldfish bowl placed on a table, with an expression of wonder or contemplation. Two goldfish swim in the bowl, which reflects light beautifully. On the table lies a decorative string of red beads or tassels, adding rich color to the composition. Beside the fishbowl stands a small, intricately detailed Japanese figurine in a traditional kimono, adding an element of cultural interest.
De László's style is marked by his skillful rendering of light and texture, as seen in the reflections on the glass bowl, the water, and the delicate features of the child. The painting exudes a serene, almost intimate atmosphere, showcasing the artist's mastery in portraiture and his sensitivity to the subjects he painted. The subdued background emphasizes the bright focus on the child, the fishbowl, and the decorative elements, creating a charming and peaceful scene.
