Portrait of a Carpenter Helper

Dingeldey

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a young boy standing in a room. He has a serious expression, a round face, large eyes, short hair under a flat cap, a patterned shirt with a visible collar, overalls, a bow tie, and short boots. He holds a wooden mallet by his waist. The room has decorative woodwork and patterned wallpaper, with wooden planks leaning on a table and a wooden basket nearby. Elaborate carvings adorn the walls.
