This painting shows a close-up of a boy’s face against a dark, textured background. His skin is pale with a slight yellowish tint, and his hair is messy and curly. The brushstrokes are thick, making the face look almost rough in places. The boy’s expression is serious, with a slight frown. The dark background makes his face stand out, but the painting feels unfinished in spots, like it was never fully smoothed out. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this is used.
