“Portrait of a Boy” is an artwork by Chaim Soutine, created circa 1927 to circa 1928 in France. This portrait artwork is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, US.
The artwork depicts a young boy standing against a dark, muted background. The boy is dressed formally, wearing a red vest over a white shirt with a black jacket and pants. His posture exudes confidence as he stands with his hands on his hips, and his facial expression appears serious or contemplative. The painting utilizes bold, expressive brushstrokes and a palette dominated by dark blues and vibrant reds. The overall effect conveys a strong sense of character and intensity.
