Amory Sibley Carhart

Thomas Le Clear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Portrait of a young boy sitting on a stone bench. The boy wears a dark green suit with a high collar and dark shoes. His hair is parted in the middle and combed back. He holds a pencil in his right hand and rests it on an open book. A black bag sits on the ground beside a red book. A white hat rests on the bench behind him. The background is a mix of brown, orange, and green foliage. The boy sits with his left leg crossed over his right. His left arm rests on his thigh. The overall atmosphere suggests an outdoor setting. Amory Sibley Carhart by Thomas Le Clear.
