Old Man and a Boy

The artwork Old Man and a Boy is a painting, created in 1565. Currently, it is located in Kunsthistorisches Museum. The artwork's dimensions are 0.83 meter x 1.03 meter. The creator of this artwork is unknown.

The painting depicts an elderly man with a long, gray beard and a young boy, positioned slightly behind him. The man, dressed in dark attire, sits in a chair, his hands resting on the arms. His gaze is directed downwards, conveying a sense of contemplation or perhaps sadness. The boy, in contrast, appears more lively, his gaze directed towards the viewer. He wears a more elaborate outfit, suggesting a higher social standing. The dark background and the play of light and shadow contribute to the painting's somber and introspective mood.
