The Artist's Son Wolf Crouching on the Floor

Leopold von Kalckreuth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an inset portrait of a person sitting on the floor from head to knees, with one arm resting on the knee. The individual is looking upwards with a focused gaze. The person's facial features include closely set eyes, a small nose, and slightly parted lips. They have short, closely cropped hair and are wearing casual clothing - a long-sleeved top, pants, and an additional garment draped over their shoulders. An open book is on the ground in front of them. The background is sketched with textured shading, hinting at an interior scene.
