This painting depicts two young boys dressed in black, standing side by side. The boy on the left holds a long, dark-colored stick or pole in his right hand, while the boy on the right has his left arm around his brother's shoulder. Both boys wear white collars and have short, dark hair. The background of the painting features a mix of warm and cool tones, with hints of yellow and brown. The overall atmosphere is somber, with the boys' serious expressions adding to the mood. The Scottish National Gallery holds this artwork, which showcases the artist's skill in capturing the likenesses of his subjects.
