Description
A young boy with dark, curling hair and rosy cheeks turns slightly to one side, his blue eyes wide and steady beneath softly modelled brows. He wears a loose blue smock that gathers in soft folds around his neck and shoulders.
Renoir sets the boy against a warm, mottled olive brown background, worked in broad, textured strokes that contrast with the smoother, more carefully built passages of the face. The blue of the smock is picked out with visible, varied brushwork, giving the fabric a soft, woven texture.
Measuring 41 x 32 cm in the original, this portrait is offered as a hand painted oil reproduction on canvas or as an archival giclee canvas print; it is a reproduction, not the original painting.
