Portrait of a Boy with a Hoop

J. Wistar Davis

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a young boy seated on an ornately carved chair. He is facing slightly towards his left, holding a striped object in his hands. The boy has short, neatly combed hair, a full face with fine features, and a composed expression. He is dressed in a long-sleeved shirt with subtle decorative elements. The photo is framed with floral motifs. The background is a plain, dark tone that contrasts with the subject.
