Side-Face Portrait of a Boy is a 1871 oil by Anna Nordlander, held at Nationalmuseum.
The painting is a side-face portrait of a boy, rendered in oil paint. The boy's face is turned to the right, and his body is angled slightly away from the viewer. He has short brown hair and wears a white shirt with a dark strap or sash over his left shoulder. The background of the painting is a solid gray color, which provides a neutral backdrop for the boy's portrait. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, as if the boy is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore Anna Nordlander's other works.
