Composition in black and white. Rapid lines. Boy head occupying almost all of the support against the white background area. He has a round face, suggesting hair being curly, sagging eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes forward, upturned nose, chin and lips closed with small indentation in the center. We see the beginning of the clothing defined by loose lines.
