Detailed Description
A full-length portrait painting depicts a young boy standing in a room, surrounded by animals. The boy, with light skin and shoulder-length brown hair with bangs, wears a bright red suit with a white ruffled collar, a wide white sash around his waist, and white shoes with bows. He holds a thin white string in both hands, which loops down towards the floor. To his left, three cats are gathered on the dark floor. The foremost cat is large, white with black patches, and has wide, light-colored eyes. Behind it are two smaller, dark-furred cats, one appearing black and the other striped gray, both looking towards the boy. On the floor directly in front of the boy, a black and white magpie stands, holding a small white card or paper in its beak. To the boy's right, a green, domed birdcage sits on the floor, containing several small, brown and white birds. The background is a plain, dark greenish-gray wall, and the floor is a light brown. Along the bottom edge of the painting, white text reads: "EL S. D. MANUEL OSORIO MANRRIQUE D ZUÑIGA S D GINES NACIO EN AÑO. 1784"
