A striking mid-century oil painting on canvas, depicting a young blond boy seated on a wooden chair, wearing a bright red jumper. Painted in an expressive, textured style with bold brushstrokes and impasto detail.
The portrait has a distinctly modernist / expressionist feel, typical of European art from the 1950s–1960s. The background is abstract and atmospheric, allowing the child to remain the focus of the work.
