About the piece

Painted in 1894 by Gyula Éder, this portrait study of a young boy showcases a masterful use of light and shadow. The loose, confident brushwork and moody atmosphere evoke the psychological depth characteristic of late 19th-century European realism, making it a timeless addition to a study or gallery wall.
