This painting shows a boy sitting on a wooden chair. He’s wearing a dark coat with three red circles on the front, light pants, and a cap. His hands are clasped together, and he looks straight ahead with big green eyes. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like scribbles in some spots. The colors are simple—mostly blues, browns, and whites—with a few bright reds for contrast. If you like this style, check out William Sommer (American, 1867–1949) for more work like this.
