From the collection of Fitzwilliam Museum
Boy in red is a 1705 oil by Fra Galgario, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This portrait shows a young boy with a serious expression, wearing a red hat and a red cloak over a blue jacket. The boy's face is the main focus of the painting, with his dark eyes looking straight ahead. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with the boy's face and clothing standing out against a dark background. The use of red and blue in the boy's clothing adds a pop of color to the painting.
