Boy with Toy Soldiers is a 1888 oil by Antonio Mancini, a Impressionism work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a young boy sitting at a table, surrounded by toy soldiers. He's wearing a black jacket with a white collar and has dark, curly hair. The boy's eyes are cast downward, and his right hand rests on the table, near the toy soldiers. The painting's colors are muted, with shades of brown and black dominating the scene. The boy's face is illuminated, while the background remains dark and shadowy. The overall atmosphere is somber and contemplative.
