About this work

This watercolor painting shows a boy with light brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a dark jacket with a white collar and a blue tie. He is looking straight ahead, his expression calm. The boy's clothing and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait, possibly from the early 19th century. The artist's use of watercolor creates a soft, delicate effect.
