The c.1861 painting 'Portrait of Henry Bernstein as a Child', also known as 'Little Lange', is an oil-on-canvas portrait by Édouard Manet, currently displayed at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe. Manet showcases his friend's young son, approximately five years old, using a dark palette which echoes works from the Spanish Golden Age, whilst also hinting at Antoine Watteau's 'Gilles'. This piece, created early in Manet's artistic journey, exhibits rough execution in some areas, providing a glimpse into his future work in the realm of Impressionism.
