This portrait shows a young boy with short, light hair, wearing a dark jacket with buttons and a white ruffled collar. The background is dark, which makes the boy stand out. The boy's face is serious, and he looks straight ahead. His clothes are formal, suggesting that this might be an important picture. If you're interested in more art like this, you could look up the artist, Henry Sargent.
