Artwork description

The drawing Portrait of a Boy captures a youthful face with a striking blend of softness and intensity. The boy’s wide, reflective eyes dominate the composition, suggesting a mixture of innocence and quiet thoughtfulness. His slightly parted lips enhance this expression, as though he is caught in the middle of forming a word or holding back an emotion.

The artist employs a delicate balance of pencil and subtle shading, allowing the contours of the face to emerge naturally. Cross-hatched lines in the hair add energy and movement, while the warm tones of the paper infuse the portrait with an understated vibrancy. Light and shadow divide the face, reinforcing a sense of duality—between curiosity and uncertainty, youth and maturity.

Though simple in execution, the portrait resonates with depth, inviting the viewer to linger on the boy’s gaze. It feels both intimate and universal, presenting a moment of stillness where character and inner life are quietly revealed.
