About this work

This painting shows a boy with light brown hair and bright eyes, looking straight at you. He’s wearing a dark blue coat over a light-colored shirt with a high collar. The background is plain and dark, so all the focus stays on his face. The boy’s expression is calm but serious, with a slight hint of a smile. His hair is neatly brushed, and the light catches the texture of his coat. If you like this style of portrait, look up chiaroscuro.
