This portrait painting features a young boy with curly hair, gazing directly at the viewer. He wears a dark jacket over a white shirt and a dark bow tie. The background is dark, which highlights the boy's face and clothing. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The contrast between light and dark adds to the overall mood of the portrait. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
