The Young Biologist is a 1896 oil by Paul Peel, a Impressionism work, depicting anura, held at Art Gallery of Ontario.
This painting shows a young boy in a garden, standing on a dirt path. He's wearing a striped cap, a dark shirt, and dark pants. He has a small bucket hanging from his left hand. To his right is a bush with green leaves and a few yellow flowers. A small frog sits on the path near the bush. The boy is looking down at the frog. The boy's clothing and the setting suggest a casual, everyday scene. The artist has used warm colors to create a sense of comfort and tranquility.
