About this work

This portrait presents a young boy with a serious expression, his brown eyes fixed directly on the viewer. He wears a red tunic with a high collar and a blue band around his neck, complemented by a dark grey cap that covers his forehead. His straight brown hair falls just below his shoulders. The boy's attire is rendered in fine detail, with visible brushstrokes that add texture to the painting. The background, though somewhat blurred, appears to depict a landscape with trees, water, and distant buildings.
