← Delâtre, Eugène

The image depicts a young boy in a bust-length view. He is standing in a frontal position with his face directly towards the viewer. The boy's facial features include round cheeks and a slight pout or a neutral expression. His hair is covered by a cap. He is dressed in a dark-colored high-collared shirt with a prominent bow at the neck and a band across the chest. The background features a sketch-like drawing of an outdoor scene, possibly a garden or yard, with abstract outlines of plants and a wooden fence, along with a broom leaning against it. The scene is monochromatic, rendered in shades of brown against a light paper background.
