About this work

In the painting a young boy stands wearing a flat cap and a soft beret, his hands tucked in the pockets of a plain shirt. The work is attributed to Jacopo da Bassano, a 16th‑century Venetian painter known for lively colors and natural details. Notice the subtle shading on the boy’s face, which hints at the early use of chiaroscuro to give depth. The background is a neutral gray, keeping the focus on the boy’s expression.
