Beeldbeschrijving
This painting is a portrait of a child seen from the waist up. The child is seated, with their body turned to the left but their head facing us. They have a delicate face featuring pale skin, light eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and red lips, along with large, expressive, green eyes. Their face is in a neutral expression. The child has short, dark, curly hair framing their face. They wear a light gray garment with a high collar and a blue tie or cravat around their neck. The background is a blend of dark colors including browns, dark blues, and hints of green. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible, especially those in the background and child's clothes.
