Boy in a Red Vest

The Boy in a Red Vest, also called The Boy in the Red Waistcoat, is an oil painting by Paul Cézanne created between 1888 and 1890. It exemplifies Cézanne’s skilled, nuanced, and innovative Post-impressionism style after 1880. The work features a portrait of a young boy wearing a vibrant red) vest, capturing both innocence and depth in his gaze. Cézanne’s mastery is evident in his subtle use of color and brushwork on traditional media, often working with paper and watercolor techniques to explore form and expression.
