This painting shows a boy sitting in a chair, wearing a dark coat and a white shirt with a colorful bow tie. His light hair is neatly combed, and he looks straight ahead with a calm expression. The background is a soft, blurred greenish-blue, keeping the focus on him. The boy’s hands rest gently on the chair arm, one slightly in front of the other. The brushstrokes are smooth, giving the painting a gentle, almost glowing feel. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
