Robert Besnard

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a young boy standing with one hand on his hip and leaning on a structure with his other hand. He has a focused expression, defined eyebrows, and slightly tousled hair. He wears a dark outfit with textured fabric, along with what seems to be tall socks or boots. The background features vertical lines resembling a wood-like wall, with the name "Robert" and a date etched faintly. The image is monochromatic, highlighting the intricate etching details. No jewelry or objects are visible on the boy, except for his interaction with the furniture.
