Wiki 1867, Jesus Munoz By Hermenegildo Bustos
Artista: Hermenegildo Bustos
Siglo XIX · México
Colección: Hermenegildo Bustos
This moving painting is a portrait of a young boy, possibly Jesus Muñoz, dating from around 1867. The child, dressed in a formal suit and a striped bow tie, thoughtfully holds a pencil and a small slate, a clear nod to the importance of education. Although the artist is cataloged as anonymous, the style exhibits the directness and detail characteristic of 19th-century Mexican popular portraiture, with a sincere focus on the subject's personality.
