About this work

This painting shows a boy sitting down, with his legs crossed and arms resting. The colors are mostly dark—deep blues and browns—with a few lighter patches on his clothes. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a rough, textured look. The boy’s face is blurred, making it hard to see his expression. His posture looks relaxed, but the painting itself feels more about the way the colors and brushwork come together than about details. If you like this style, check out impasto.
