Portrait of a Boy 1920

Edvard Weie's "Portrait of a Boy" (1920) is a striking oil painting capturing the solemn gaze of a young boy. The painting features a stark contrast between the boy's pale skin and the dark, almost shadowy background. The boy's clothing, a dark garment, further emphasizes his isolation. The loose, expressive brushstrokes characteristic of Weie's style lend an air of spontaneity and intimacy to the portrait. This work, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Weie's ability to convey emotional depth through his masterful use of color and form.
