Portrait of a Boy

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Portrait of a Boy", by Pablo Picasso, is a photograph showing parts of a framed photograph on a white surface. The framed photograph is rectangular with a dark background and a brown wooden frame. The frame is positioned diagonally across the image. A smaller, oval-shaped photograph leans against the bottom of the framed photo. The oval photograph shows a young boy with short dark hair wearing a white shirt with ruffles. The boy appears to be sitting. To the left, a small circular photograph is partially visible in the frame. On the right, there is a stack of 3-4 black boxes with gold lines. The bottom of the image features a green strip.
