He appears to have received almost all of the most important portrait commissions in the Midwestern cities where he worked. Nevertheless, he exhibited genre paintings at the National Academy of Design in 1842 and with the American Art-Union in 1846 and 1848-49. The Young Mechanic, his Art-Union painting for 1848, is the first of these efforts to come to light. Its warm tonality, strong lighting, and detailed realism accord with the artist’s portrait style during the period. The thoroughgoing realism is epitomized in the trompe l’oeil feature of the gate that extends forward toward the picture plane and which bears Smith’s signature. His attention to detail and textures seems almost obsessive, even in the context of Midwestern taste as displayed in the realism of Cincinnati’s Lilly Martin Spencer (1822-1902) and JAMES H. BEARD early in the following decade. Smith’s is a frank realism of wear, stains, and clutter, held together by a strong architectural framework. The title, The Young Mechanic (the word mechanic meaning a skilled person who works with his hands), refers to the boy seated behind the counter of what may be his father’s woodworking shop. The working-class boy has been hired by the better-dressed boy in the straw hat to whittle a new mast for his toy boat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes from the Contributor: \nAlthough Allen Smith Jr. was a well-known portrait painter in the Midwest, he trained and occasionally exhibited in New York City. He also created still lifes, landscapes, and genre scenes of everyday life, such as The Young Mechanic. (The term “mechanic” here refers to a skilled manual laborer.) The image of a craftsman was a popular theme in American figure painting throughout the nineteenth century. This scene is unusual, in that children rather than adults convey the narrative. They appear to be in negotiation, the well-dressed boy with a straw hat hiring the seated lad to whittle a new mast for his toy ship. The interplay between the two protagonists is highlighted by their different social classes. This picture was painted in Cleveland when economic and social conditions were changing in that city. As the local economy shifted away from manual skills, efforts to improve the life of laborers were initiated by the founding of a mechanics’ lyceum in the early 1840s.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStructured artwork information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtpiece title:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\"The Young Mechanic\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategorization:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUmbrella term:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emodern art\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentury\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19th century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreated in the year:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1848\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge of artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003earound 170 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal medium of artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eoil on canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions of the original artpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 1\/4 × 32 3\/16 in (102,24 × 81,76 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum \/ collection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLos Angeles County Museum of Art\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation of the museum:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLos Angeles, California, United States of America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWebsite of the museum:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lacma.org\"\u003eLos Angeles County Museum of Art\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLicense:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epublic domain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCourtesy of:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLos Angeles County Museum of Art (www.lacma.org)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eContextual artist metadata\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eName:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllen Smith Jr.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist nationality:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerican\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJobs of the artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epainter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassification of the artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emodern artist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChoose your item material variant\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product dropdown menu gives you the chance to choose the material and size of your choice.

Although, the tone of the printed materials, as well as the printing may diverge to a certain extent from the representation on your screen. Depending on your settings of your screen and the quality of the surface, colors might not be printed 100% realistically. In view of the fact that all are processed and printed manually, there might also be minor variations in the size and exact position of the motif. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis text is copyrighted ©, Artprinta.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Artprinta","offers":[{"title":"Canvas print \/ 50x60cm - 20x24\"","offer_id":31478194667572,"sku":"AVMRV932G_cnv_size1_50x60cm","price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas print \/ 100x120cm - 39x47\"","offer_id":31564093521972,"sku":"AVMRV932G_cnv_size2_100x120cm","price":119.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas print \/ 150x180cm - 59x71\"","offer_id":31565604126772,"sku":"AVMRV932G_cnv_size3_150x180cm","price":299.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating) \/ 50x60cm - 20x24\"","offer_id":31567906668596,"sku":"AVMRV932G_acr_size1_50x60cm","price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating) \/ 100x120cm - 39x47\"","offer_id":31569705599028,"sku":"AVMRV932G_acr_size2_100x120cm","price":239.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Poster print (canvas paper) \/ 50x60cm - 20x24\"","offer_id":31572132921396,"sku":"AVMRV932G_pos_size1_50x60cm","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Poster print (canvas paper) \/ 100x120cm - 39x47\"","offer_id":31573434531892,"sku":"AVMRV932G_pos_size2_100x120cm","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal print (Aluminium Dibond) \/ 50x60cm - 20x24\"","offer_id":37553791467699,"sku":"AVMRV932G_alu_size1_50x60cm","price":84.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal print (Aluminium Dibond) \/ 100x120cm - 39x47\"","offer_id":37560791695539,"sku":"AVMRV932G_alu_size2_100x120cm","price":189.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/0976\/2868\/products\/AVMRV932G.jpg?v=1579010018"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.artprinta.com\/de-de\/collections\/allen-smith-jr.oembed","provider":"Artprinta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
