This intimate portrait by René De Lannoy depicts a young boy in a green-yellow sweater, rendered in lively brushstrokes and a strong color palette. The face is expressively built up with subtle nuances, giving the child a vivid yet slightly dreamy appearance. The dark background enhances the play of light in the face and sweater. The work reflects De Lannoy’s characteristic style, where experimentation, texture and emotion merge.
