The painting shows a young boy standing in front of a landscape. He is dressed in a white shirt with red trim and a red bow tie, and he holds a circular object in his right hand. The background is a hilly landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. The boy's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The painting is done in oil paint, and the brushstrokes are visible, giving the image a sense of texture. The painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
