About this work

The painting depicts a young boy with dark hair, wearing a black jacket and white collar. His mouth is open, and a cigarette is visible in his right hand. The boy's gaze is directed to the left, and his facial expression is neutral. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the boy's clothing and the cigarette. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber, and the use of dark colors creates a sense of intensity. The painting is held at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
