A young boy cradles a lamb against his chest, his gaze turned quietly aside in a moment of tender protectiveness. Pavel Filin builds the scene from loose, textured brushwork and cool turquoise and blue tones, warmed by the flesh of the child's face and the soft cream of the animal's coat. The loose handling and impressionistic light give this original oil painting an intimate, almost dreamlike stillness. A quietly affecting portrait, available now at Art Gallery Teplice.
