Brief Description

A full-length portrait of a boy in dark clothing holding a drum-like object and a stick

Detailed Description

The painting depicts a full-length portrait of a young boy standing against a plain, dark background. The boy has fair skin, light eyes, and short, light blond hair. He looks directly forward with a neutral expression. He wears a white, rounded collar over a dark, long-sleeved jacket or tunic. Below the jacket, he has brown breeches that extend to his knees, and bright blue stockings covering his lower legs. His feet are clad in dark, low-heeled shoes. In his left hand, held close to his chest, is a dark, ornate object that resembles the hilt of a sword or a decorative handle. His right hand grasps a large, light brown, oval-shaped object, possibly a drum or a shield, which rests against his right side. He also holds a long, dark stick or rod vertically in his right hand, extending downwards. The boy's body is slightly turned to his right, with his left foot positioned forward and his right foot slightly back. The background consists of a dark brown wall, and a lighter gray floor extends across the bottom of the painting. The lighting highlights the boy's face and the front of his attire.
