Portrait of a Boy

Three-quarter portrait of a boy, turned slightly to the left with a gentle direct gaze. He wears a pale gray garment and an expansive white lace collar that sits over the shoulders, with a brown sash crossing the chest and dark drapery at the side. The background is a uniform warm brown, and the painting exhibits meticulous detail in the lace, skin tones, and satin, with soft modeling and careful light and texture typical of Dutch Golden Age portraiture.
