Boy with a Lamb

The child sits on a rocky ledge with his head turned aside, a lamb resting across his folded arms and pressing its muzzle to his shoulder. A white-and-brown check runs through both shirt and waistcoat, set against rust-coloured trousers. The soft grey hat, its wide brim crumpled, is pushed back off the forehead. One leg stretches forward so that a heavy ribbed boot hangs over the edge of the base.
