Portrait of a Boy

Henry Pollock

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young boy standing with one hand on a wooden chair and the other on his hip. He has neatly combed hair and a neutral expression, wearing a light blue shirt with buttons, a black bow at the collar, and grey trousers. Beside him on the chair is a straw hat with a blue ribbon, resting on top of a closed book. The background is plain and dark, contrasting with the boy's attire. The framed image is bordered in gold.
