About the piece
Painted in 1863 by Aleksander Kotsis, this oil on canvas work depicts a young boy engaged in playful pretense, using a key as a makeshift firearm. Set against a pastoral backdrop with grazing goats and a companion peeking from behind a willow tree, the scene is rendered with the earthy tones and soft, atmospheric light characteristic of 19th-century Polish realism.
