Boy with a Basket of Fruit

Amerikanische Malerei 1790–1801, ca. 1790

The artwork depicts a young boy shown from the waist up, positioned slightly to the side. He has light brown hair with a straight fringe and an expression on his face. The boy is wearing a garment with a frilled white collar and blue sleeves, accented with gold buttons and red trim. He is holding a basket filled with fruit, including pears and apples, and there is a piece of bread on the table in front of him. The background is dark, which highlights the boy and the items on the table.
