Unknown artist - boy's face

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

The portrait was conceived with a lyrical pathos, aiming to establish an empathetic dialogue between the subject and the viewer. For this reason, the composition is completely frontal, with the boy's large eyes focused on us. The painter focuses less on a detailed description of the physiognomy than on a highly dynamic pictorial style that tends to give greater expressiveness to the subject and is expressed through broad, colorful brushstrokes.

The artist who painted this painting displays a rather traditional conception of portraiture. Formally, he seeks his own stylistic signature with highly expressive brushstrokes.
