Little schoolboy of Bonmahon is a 1915 oil by Edith Collier, a Impressionism work, depicting Boy, held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
This painting shows a young boy in a dark blue coat and grey hat, holding a blue book. He is set against a colorful wall with red flowers and green and purple stripes. The boy's face is pale with rosy cheeks, and he looks directly at the viewer. The boy's attire and the wall behind him suggest a sense of simplicity and everyday life. The artist's use of color and composition draws attention to the boy's gentle expression. To learn more about the artist behind this portrait, look up Edith Collier.
