The painting shows a young boy sitting on the side of an armchair. He looks confident and determined. The boy is set against a pink background, which gives the scene a playful feel. The title "We should defend our island" suggests the boy is making a bold statement. The boy's pose is strong, like a grown man. This painting is interesting because it combines a playful mood with a serious message. To learn more about the artist's use of contrasting moods, look up the technique: cross-hatching.
