About the piece
Created in 1919, this evocative oil painting by Sekine Shoji is a powerful example of Japanese expressionism. The work features a young boy in a brilliant red garment, his focused gaze and the ethereal, atmospheric blue background creating a sense of quiet intensity. The painterly texture and vibrant primary colors make it a commanding statement piece for modern or eclectic interiors.
