Artist, American, 1909 - 2011

The image depicts a young boy seated with a somber expression. He has a round face, deep-set eyes, and short, tousled hair. He is shirtless and sitting on a textured sofa or chair. Beside him is an old-style radio or record player on a table with a crocheted tablecloth. On the table is a large labeled can and a closed book. The background includes a framed portrait of Jesus Christ, partially obscured by a child's drawing of a bunny, and a depiction of the Virgin Mary with flowers and a star ornament. The room is filled with framed religious images and family photographs on wooden-paneled walls.
