About the piece
Attributed to the French master Jean-Baptiste Greuze, this charming mid-18th-century oil portrait captures the innocence and intelligence of a young boy, long believed to be Mozart. The work is defined by soft, luminous brushwork and a sophisticated, muted palette that allows the subject's direct gaze to take center stage, making it a timeless addition to traditional interiors.
