About the piece

This intimate oil study by Miguel Ângelo Lupi captures the contemplative expression of a young boy. Executed around 1900, the work features a warm, earthy palette and bold, confident brushstrokes that highlight the play of light across the subject's face and curly hair, characteristic of late 19th-century European portraiture.
