The Boy with Cherries 1859

"The Boy with Cherries" is a painting by the French artist Édouard Manet from 1859. The painting is a portrait of a young boy with a mischievous grin holding a bowl of cherries. The boy is dressed in a dark jacket and a bright red fez, which adds a pop of color to the composition. This painting, now housed in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, is a fine example of Manet's early work, showing his interest in realism and everyday subjects.
