The painting depicts a young boy with dark hair, wearing a yellow shirt. The background is a mottled grey-brown color. The boy's face is rendered in a realistic style, with subtle shading and texture. His eyes are cast downward, giving the impression that he is lost in thought. The painting is presented in a gold frame with a white mat, which adds a touch of elegance to the overall piece.
