This painting features a young boy sitting with his legs crossed, playing a flute. He is dressed in a blue hat, white shirt, brown vest, blue pants, and brown shoes. To the right of the boy, a separate drawing of an arm and hand holding a flute is visible. The background of the painting is a brown color, which provides a neutral backdrop for the subject. The overall mood of the painting appears to be one of quiet contemplation, as the boy is focused on playing his flute. For more information on the artist behind this piece, look up Canziani, Estella.
