More about this artwork

"Boy with a Wheelbarrow" (1880) by Ernst Josephson is a captivating oil painting that vividly captures the essence of youthful enterprise amidst a lush garden setting. The artwork features a young boy, dressed in a traditional late 19th-century attire, standing confidently with his hands gripping the handles of a green wheelbarrow. His boater hat, complemented by a red ribbon, adds a touch of elegance and contrasts beautifully with his detailed light blue suit.Josephson’s use of lively brushstrokes and a rich palette brings the verdant garden to life, with hints of red and pink flowers punctuating the green foliage. The boy’s gaze, directed towards the viewer, invites an engaging interaction, making it almost palpable that he has momentarily paused his garden chores. The naturalistic depiction of the plants and textured stonework on the path enhances the realistic feel of the scene.This painting is not only a testament to Josephson's skill in portraying human figures and nature with equal finesse but also reflects the cultural and social nuances of the era.
