Portrait of a Newspaper Boy

William C. Bell

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young boy standing upright, facing slightly to the left. He has short, neatly combed hair and a neutral expression. The boy is wearing a checkered jacket and pants, a shirt, and a loosely tied bow tie. He holds a stack of newspapers under one arm with a strap over his shoulder. The background is a plain, textured backdrop. At the bottom, there is a signature, "W.C. Bell", and an address, "No. 6 West Market St., York, Pa."
