The Boy and Two Old Men is a drawing by Italian Mannerist artist Parmigianino, known for his elongated figures and graceful lines. The work depicts a young man seated on a stone block, his gaze directed downward as he contemplates the two older men who stand beside him. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the figures' features and the delicate shading of the background. This drawing exemplifies Parmigianino's mastery of the art of drawing, capturing the beauty and complexity of the human form.
