This painting by Texas artist, Jean Sadler, portrays a thoughtful child, seated on a  log with hands clasped under their chin, gazing directly forward with wide, expressive eyes. The child is dressed in a chunky red knit sweater and blue jeans, with striped sneakers peeking out from beneath their crossed legs. The background is a soft blur of yellows, greens, and hints of red, suggesting an autumnal or late summer outdoor setting. Green grass surround the foreground, at the child's feet. The scene is rendered in impasto brushstrokes throughout, giving the piece a rich texture. 
 
The piece is framed and ready to hang in a vintage, gold leaf frame with linen liner.
