Seymour Haden Jr., Seated is a 1858 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a young boy sitting on the ground, facing left. He has short, dark hair and is dressed in a dark jacket, white shirt, dark pants, and dark shoes. His hands are clasped together in front of him. The boy is set against a plain background, with some lines suggesting grass or a floor behind him. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
