Space Boy

"Space Boy" (2022), a color lithograph by Jennifer Mack-Watkins, depicts a child in a grey astronaut suit with coral-pink straps crossing the chest, standing on a cratered tan-and-brown lunar surface. A yellow halo-like disc surrounds the child's head behind the helmet, set against a deep navy sky scattered with white stars and crossed by two curving mustard-yellow arcs; a pink horizon band separates ground from sky. The composition is centered and symmetrical, framed within a rounded-rectangle panel on white paper, with pencil annotations ("A.P. 2/3," the title in quotes, and the artist's signature) below the image.
