About the piece
Painted in 1670 by Dutch master Caspar Netscher, this oil on panel work captures a quiet moment of childhood wonder. The artist's renowned skill in portraying textures is on full display in the luminous green curtain and the delicate plumes of the boy's hat, all framed within a classic stone archway with a relief base.
