The artwork, titled “Boy with Camera Work,” was created by Clarence White in 1905. It falls within the Pictorialism art movement and is classified as a photographic genre.
The artwork depicts a young boy standing in a dimly lit interior, holding what appears to be a copy of “Camera Work,” a notable photographic journal. The boy’s expression is contemplative, and his gaze is directed away from the camera. His attire is a striped shirt, emphasizing the early 20th-century setting. The subdued lighting and soft focus are characteristic of the Pictorialist style, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over sharp detail. The presence of large doors in the background further frames the central figure, enhancing the composition’s depth and ambiance.
