Eugene (Portrait of the artist's son) 1917

"Eugene (Portrait of the Artist's Son)," painted in 1917 by Zinaida Serebriakova, is a striking portrait of a young boy. The painting captures the subject's pensive expression, with his gaze directed downward and his lips slightly parted. The boy's light hair and blue sweater stand out against the warm tones of the background, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The artist's characteristic loose brushstrokes and vibrant color palette lend a sense of energy and life to the composition. This poignant portrayal of childhood innocence and contemplation is a testament to Serebriakova's skill as a portraitist.
