This painting represents a boy standing against the corner of a building, holding pink carnations. In his left hand is a bouquet, and in his right hand are three flowers. He wears a cap, a white shirt with the collar and cuffs open, suspenders, brown breeches, black stockings, and black boots. Leaves from the carnations surround his feet.
