Old age and youth is a 1650 oil by Pietro Liberi, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
This painting shows an older man and a young boy embracing. The man is dressed in a dark robe with a hood, while the boy is shirtless and holds a red book. The man's right hand is on the boy's shoulder, and his left hand holds an object that resembles a small animal's head. The image is rendered in warm tones, with the subjects set against a muted background. The overall mood is one of tenderness and intimacy.
