Brief Description

A painting of a young boy in a reddish-brown jacket and ruffled collar, gazing upwards

Detailed Description

A vertical portrait painting depicts a young boy from the chest up, set against a dark, indistinct background. The boy, with fair skin, rosy cheeks, and short dark hair, is positioned slightly to the right of center, gazing upwards and to the left. His left hand is raised, with his fingers resting behind his left ear, while his right arm is bent and rests lower in the frame. He wears a reddish-brown jacket with several dark buttons down the front. A prominent white ruffled collar encircles his neck, beneath which a yellowish-orange cravat or scarf is visible. The background on the right side of the boy is a deep, dark brown, almost black, suggesting a shadowed interior or drapery. To the left, behind his shoulder, a lighter area reveals a muted greenish-blue landscape under a lighter sky, hinting at an outdoor setting or a window view.
