A beautifully framed oil portrait of a young child, dated 1927. The little sitter, with dark eyes and gently flushed cheeks, is captured in a moment of quiet composure. His expression is tender and introspective, framed by a richly carved surround with a distressed white finish that enhances the painting’s antique charm. Affixed to the reverse is a handwritten Japanese label which reads according to AI.
