Two Boys Standing with Backs Turned

Niederländische Grafik 1623–1701, 1659

The image shows two individuals captured from the back, with their full bodies visible. Both are standing closely together, leaning slightly forward. The person on the left has medium-length hair that falls naturally down their back, while the right individual's hair is covered by a rounded cap. They are both wearing loose-fitting garments; the left person is wearing a long-sleeved top and a knee-length garment, while the right person has on a similar style with a cap and baggy pants. Both individuals are wearing shoes, similar to clogs, and the feet of the left person are partially crossed as they lean forward. The background is a simple, neutral-toned surface with no additional elements or detailed scenery.
