Boy Resting 1890

"Boy Resting" is an oil on canvas painting by Paul Cézanne, created in 1890 and currently housed at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. The painting depicts a young boy lying down in a field, with a tree and a river in the background. Cézanne is known for his use of color and brushstrokes, and these elements are readily apparent in this artwork, as the artist used short, broken brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and form. This painting demonstrates Cézanne's exploration of light and shadow, as well as his interest in the natural world. The composition is balanced, with the figure of the boy creating a visual focal point. Cézanne's work is often categorized as Post-Impressionism, and this painting represents his distinctive style.
