About the piece
This 1902 oil study by Władysław Ślewiński captures a young boy in profile, wearing a large dark beret and a heavy coat. Associated with the Young Poland movement and the Pont-Aven School, Ślewiński uses a warm, muted palette and thick brushwork to imbue the simple subject with a sense of contemplative dignity.
