Who Is It? is a 1863 oil by Seymour Joseph Guy, a Realism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting shows a young girl covering a boy's eyes. The boy is sitting on a wooden stool, holding a book. The girl stands behind him, wearing a long dress, and has her hands on his face. The background is a room with a window on the left side and a patterned wallpaper. The girl's dress and the boy's clothing suggest a formal setting. The book the boy is holding implies that he is engaged in reading or studying. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Seymour Joseph Guy.
