A Boy in Florentine Costume

Thomas Couture

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an illustration of a person in a dynamic crouched position. The individual is leaning forward with one leg bent, one arm extended back, holding a baton-like object in each hand. The person's facial features are in profile, with short curly hair partially covered by headwear. They are dressed in a form-fitting outfit with distinct buttons. There are no visible accessories or additional objects. The background is a plain, light-colored textured surface.
