Poika ja purje is an unspecified by Magnus Enckell, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a young boy standing in a small boat, holding a sail. He wears a light-colored shirt and dark pants. The boat is dark, with a light-colored interior. The boy stands with his back to the viewer, facing the sail. The background is a body of water, possibly a lake or river, with a grassy area on the far shore. A barrel is visible on the shore, and a few rocks are scattered in the water. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere.
