The Schoolboy is a 1894 oil by Vincent van Gogh, a Post-Impressionism work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
The Schoolboy, painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1888, is a portrait of a young boy in a blue jacket and hat. The boy stands against a red wall, looking down with a serious expression. His right hand rests on a yellow railing, while his left arm hangs by his side. The painting's background is a solid red, which contrasts with the boy's blue clothing. The overall mood of the painting is somber, with the boy's serious expression and the dark colors used. The painting's style is characteristic of Van Gogh's post-Impressionist work, with thick brushstrokes and vivid colors.
