About the piece
Painted around 1805 by Louis-Léopold Boilly, this oil on canvas portrait depicts a young boy kneeling on a patterned carpet. Dressed in a turban and a green embroidered vest, he clutches a collection of toys—a ball, a doll, and a string of pretzels—while a doll in a harlequin costume rests at his side, showcasing Boilly's mastery of detail and gift for capturing the sweetness of childhood.
