About this work

This painting shows a young boy lying on his back. He's wearing a dark jacket and has his left arm raised above his head, resting on a pillow. The background is dark, which makes the boy stand out. The boy's face is relaxed, and he seems to be looking straight ahead. His right arm is hidden under the pillow, and his legs are stretched out to the side. The pillow is white with some red stripes. The boy's calm expression and the dark background create a peaceful atmosphere.
