EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait by Judith Leyster, we are introduced to a young boy whose gaze holds an air of curiosity and innocence. The painting, known as "Portrait of a Boy" or the "Goss portrait" showcases Leyster's remarkable talent in capturing the essence of her subjects. Rendered with meticulous detail, the oil on oak composition reveals Leyster's mastery in portraying light and shadow. The warm hues that delicately illuminate the boy's face create a sense of depth and dimensionality. His rosy cheeks hint at his youthfulness while his wide eyes seem to reflect an inner world filled with wonder. Leyster's choice to depict the boy against a neutral background allows us to focus solely on his expressive features. Every brushstroke seems purposeful, emphasizing each contour and line that make up his visage. It is through these subtle nuances that we gain insight into his personality - perhaps he is introspective or possesses a quiet confidence. The round format adds intrigue to this intimate portrayal, drawing our attention further towards the subject at hand. With dimensions measuring 16.7 cm in height and 16.2 cm in width (6.5 inches by 6.3 inches), this small yet powerful artwork invites us into its world where time stands still. As part of Liszt Collection, this print preserves Leyster's legacy as one of history's most talented painters who defied societal norms by achieving recognition during her time as a female artist in seventeenth-century Holland.
