For many of his earliest etchings Roussel used small copper plates and focused on Chelsea scenes, conveying a clear sense of place while often presenting affectionate portraits of the neighborhood’s youngest residents. Roussel employed a shorthand drawing style, almost caricature, to portray the figures, and yet the girl and two boys in Chelsea Regatta can be identified by their sizes and relative ages as the artist’s children, Jeanne, Raphael, and Paul.
