About this work

A boy sits on a couch, reading a book. His legs dangle off the edge, and he wears a short-sleeved shirt and socks. Nearby, a red box and a pair of shoes with red ribbons sit on the floor. The room has bold colors—deep blues, warm browns, and a green table. The brushstrokes are thick, giving the painting a textured look. The artist focused on simple shapes and bright colors rather than fine details. This style is close to what you’d call impasto.
