Modigliani's young model sits patiently on a wooden chair, sporting a blue-black sailor suit with crisp, white collar and cuffs. The classic outfit suggests that he comes from a middle- or upper-class background and may indicate that the portrait was a commission. Cool blues and grays contrast with the vibrant pinks and oranges to enliven the dark suit and the flushed skin. Among the variety of tools employed by Modigliani include small brushes to smooth down thick shadowy areas and a rag to create delicate impasto swells on the cheeks.
