Portrait of a Boy

Hinman Studios

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length portrait of a person standing upright with a hand resting on the back of a wicker chair and the other hand on their hip. The person has medium-length, textured hair that frames their face. Their facial expression is neutral. They are dressed in a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt with a decorative bow tie at the neck and dark knee-length shorts with button details on the sides. The outfit is completed with striped socks and lace-up shoes. The background is an indoor studio setting with a plain backdrop, giving the image a sepia-toned vintage look. The floor is covered with what appears to be a fur or wool carpet.
