About this work

The painting features a young boy sitting on a chair, with his hands resting on his lap. He has short dark hair and is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a collar. The background is light-colored, with some darker lines and shading visible. The boy's facial expression is neutral, and he appears to be looking directly at the viewer. His posture is relaxed, with his back straight and his legs crossed at the ankles. The overall atmosphere of the painting is calm and serene. This portrait is a great example of Joseph Stella's work, and it can be found at The Museum of Modern Art.
