The Boy in the Red Vest (Le Garçon au gilet rouge)

This item is a replica or print of the famous 1888-1890 oil on canvas painting by French Post-Impressionist Paul Cézanne. The composition features a young male subject in a melancholic pose, leaning his head on his hand with a faraway gaze. He is dressed in a distinctive bright red waistcoat (vest) over a cream-colored shirt with voluminous sleeves and dark trousers. The color palette is dominated by the vibrant red of the vest, set against muted blues, greys, and earth tones in the background and clothing. The brushwork reflects Cézanne's signature structured style, using faceted planes of color to build form. The piece is housed in a mid-to-late 20th-century wooden frame with a gold-tone finish and a textured linen inner liner. The frame shows some minor chips and wear along the lower edges. While the original masterpiece resides in the Foundation E.G. Bührle, this specific piece appears to be a high-quality vintage print or reproduction, likely produced for the decorative market between 1950 and 1980. The surface texture of the image does not show the heavy impasto expected of an original oil, suggesting a lithograph or giclée process on paper or canvas-wrapped board.
