"Boy," a 1894 painting by Jose Ferraz de Almeida Junior, showcases a delicate portrait of a sleeping infant. The artist captures the child's peaceful slumber with soft, muted tones and a gentle, almost hazy, background. The subtle use of color and light emphasizes the child's innocence and vulnerability. The painting is a powerful reminder of the tender beauty of childhood and is housed in the Museo de Arte de Sao Paulo (MASP), Sao Paulo, Brazil.
