Seated Toddler (Boy)

The boy sits upright, head turned slightly, his right hand raised with a dark red rose on a gilded stem. His left palm braces against the cushion, one leg drawn in, the other stretched toward the edge. Blue governs the cushion, with navy and gold lines running along the piped border and small folds gathered at the corners. Ochre and gold work through the curls, while the face is left in plain white porcelain.
