Nicolaes Maes's "Fisherboy" is a portrait of a young boy, likely a fisherman, dressed in a simple red jacket over a white shirt. The boy is shown in profile, looking off to the side with a serious expression. The painting is a testament to Maes's skill in depicting the textures of clothing and the subtle nuances of human emotion. This portrait, painted during the Dutch Golden Age, captures a glimpse of everyday life and the working class of the time.
