Description: | An unidentified boy is seen half-length, seated at a table, with his body turned to the left and head to the viewer. His figure is framed by a window (left), and a curtain (right). His fine attire reveals his social rank: he wears a blue doublet made from a silky fabric, with white cuffs and a loose collar. His lively gaze and his hands playing with fruit lying on the table relieve the formality of the portrait. The portrait has been previously attributed to Murillo. However, the close focus and type of dress are untypical of Murillo's paintings of street urchins. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Murillo, Bartolomé Estebán (Spanish painter and draftsman, 1618-1682) Æ Attributed to manner of Dutch School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8473... | Go to resource |
