Portrait of a Boy

Gertrude Käsebier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the head and part of the shoulders of a child facing slightly to the left. The child's facial features are soft and delicate, with a rounded face and wide eyes looking calmly ahead. The child's hair is cut in a simple, straight style with bangs across the forehead. They are wearing dark clothing. The background is dark and unfocused, drawing attention to the child's face. There are no visible objects or jewelry in the frame.
