This is a round portrait of a young boy with short, dark hair and a neutral expression. He’s wearing a purple shirt with a bright yellow tie, and the background is plain dark brown. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on his face and collar, giving it a textured look. The artist’s signature, *Constantinescu*, is signed in the bottom right corner. The painting feels simple but has a warm, almost three-dimensional quality to the boy’s skin and clothing. Check out the technique: impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
