The Boy 

"The Boy" is a portrait by Nutzi Acontz, a Swiss artist who lived from 1894 to 1957. The painting's style, characterized by thick, visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the essence of the subject, is reminiscent of Expressionism. The painting features a close-up of a young boy's face, with a hint of melancholy in his expression. The use of bold colors, particularly the vibrant red of the boy's shirt against the muted background, adds to the emotional intensity of the portrait. Acontz's work often depicted everyday people and scenes, showcasing his keen observation of human emotions.
