Description
A young boy with dark, choppy bangs looks out with a calm, direct gaze, his blue collar the only strong colour against pale skin. The whole portrait is worked in soft pastel or chalk, hatched strokes of green and gold building a loose, textured background.
The handling stays gentle throughout, hair, skin and collar all softened into one another, a quick, intimate likeness rather than a formal commissioned portrait.
Reproduced as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival canvas print, translating the pastel into a finished wall piece, in a range of sizes, framed or unframed.
