Jeune élève préparant les couleurs de son maître is a 1797 oil by Jean-Michel Grobon, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The painting depicts a young boy sitting in a dimly lit room, surrounded by various objects. He is dressed in a brown jacket and white shirt, with his legs crossed as he holds a glass in his right hand. The room is filled with items such as a table, a chair, and a birdcage, which are all painted in muted colors. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the boy's face and the objects around him.
