Study of a Boy
Chalk on paper, 37.8 x 31.7 cm, by Pieter Christoffel Wonder (1780-1852)
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
 

A young boy, dressed plainly and wearing a loosely positioned cap, turns his head over his shoulder with a steady, contemplative gaze. The drawing captures the softness of youth through delicate shading and subtle colour, lending the face a lifelike presence. His expression is both calm and slightly reserved, as he meets the viewer’s eye with quiet intensity.
