Wonderful play of light and shadows. I love how the boys hat is worn and the light falling through it. Great piece of art and not even considered part of his major works.

Thank you for posting.

I'd never heard of him until I visited the AGO in Toronto really caught my eye. As usual a lot of paintings are way bigger than I guessed, but the winter hare I posted is only size of a postcard!

For some reason this didn't feel real to me, couldn't tell you why, so I searched it up and it has an entry on wiki-art first added in 2015 so it checks out.

And coming back to this, I imagine this boy being a very young straw hat Luffy from One Piece, (mostly blowing snot bubbles though)
