The painting depicts a boy standing in front of a wall fragment, with a few buildings visible in the background. The scene is set in a quiet, residential area, with a blue sky above. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The wall fragment is rendered in warm, earthy tones, while the boy's clothing is depicted in softer, more muted hues. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity. This painting is a great example of the work of Władysław Ślewiński, who was known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto techniques to create rich, textured surfaces.
