About this work

This painting shows a boy standing sideways, facing away from us. He’s wearing a dark brown coat with a fur collar, black boots, and a dark hat. The background is plain and light, with faint grid lines drawn on it. The artist used simple shapes and solid colors to draw the boy’s form. His hands are tucked into his coat pockets, and his posture looks relaxed but a bit stiff. Next, look up Salmson, Hugo to see more of his work.
