Portrait of a Boy

Albert Sands Southworth and Josiah Johnson Hawes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an upper-body portrait of a young person standing with a relaxed posture, leaning against a wooden railing. They have one hand resting on the railing and the other hand holding a cap. The person has a youthful appearance, with short, neatly parted hair and is wearing a formal outfit with a dark-colored jacket, high-collared shirt, tie, and waistcoat. The background is neutral, and the edges are slightly blurred, contained within an oval frame.
