Old Man with a Young Boy 1490

"Old Man with a Young Boy" is a portrait painting by Domenico Ghirlandaio, created in 1490. The painting, now located at the Louvre in Paris, depicts an elderly man in a red robe, his face marked by age, and a young boy, looking up at him. The realism of the figures and the meticulous detail of the clothing are characteristic of Ghirlandaio's style, a hallmark of the Florentine Renaissance. The painting's intimate composition and the tender gaze of the young boy suggest a relationship of love and care between the two subjects.
