American School, 20th Century, 'Portrait of a Boy in a Stetson Hat'

American School, 20th Century. A realist portrait of a young boy, depicted head-and-shoulders. The subject wears a straw hat featuring a green band with the inscription STETSON visible in gold-toned lettering. He is attired in a white collared shirt and a teal-coloured jacket against a dark, monochromatic background. The work is a textured print on board, a mid-20th-century reproduction technique designed to simulate the impasto and brushwork of an original oil painting. The piece is housed in a tiered gilt wood frame with a metallic finish.
