What reading level is The Juvenile Artist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" From his childhood up, Hans Holbein showed great talents for painting, but soon manifested an in- clination to a dissolute life. His paintings are cele- brated. His w r ooden cuts show the hand of a mas- ter ; but still he preferred spending his time at the tavern, and the wine-glass to the palette. No sooner had he finished a picture, and received the money for it, than instead of going home, he went straight to his merry companions at the tavern, and there re- mained till his money was expe...nded, and he was obliged to return to his employment. A number of anecdotes are told of him, for the truth of which I cannot pledge myself ; but they are at least not at variance with that which is known to be true. One evening, he met at the tavern with a locksmith, who was an expert mechanic, and both began to boast of their art, until at length they laid a wager, which of THE JUVENILE ARTIST. 61 them, in the space of half-a-year, could furnish the most ingenious piece of art, and resolved that the Magistrates of Basle should decide the point.
