General Info

Title
Portrait of João Candido
Description
Composition in blue tones, earthy, green, rose, yellow, red, gray, black and white. Thick texture with treatment-free strokes. Portrait of John Candido, boy, half-length against background in areas of different colors. This is depicted with the body and head slightly turned to the right; has rounded face, disheveled hair drooping over his forehead in the form of fringe, on the right ear between the hair, thin eyebrows, just sketched, outlined eyes, facing right, well separated from the rest, nose and mouth represented. The body is outlined by black lines, though not very definite. Arms along the body. Clothing represented with free strokes in different colors. The background suggests spots and superimposed planes in different colors, with a predominance of earthy tones, black and ochre; this merges with the figure portrayed in some regions where the effect of "esfumato" is evident.
