About this work

The painting shows a young man sitting and holding a drawing board. He has light-colored curly hair and is wearing a brown jacket with a white scarf around his neck. The background is dark. The young man is looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. His right hand is holding the drawing board, and his left hand is resting on his lap. The drawing board appears to be made of wood and has a metal clip on the top. This painting is an example of work by the artist John Baptist Medina.
