This drawing shows a young boy sitting down, turned to the side so we can see his profile. He's naked, and his hair is curly. The boy is looking down, and his right arm is bent up towards his chest. The drawing is done in a style that makes the boy look soft and gentle. The artist used lines and shading to create the boy's shape and texture. The background of the drawing is plain, which helps us focus on the boy. If you like this kind of art, you might want to check out more works from the Baroque movement.
