Boy on the Rocks _{(Henri Rousseau, Primitivism)}

Boy on the Rocks was created anywhere from 1895-1897 by Henri Rousseau. The boy in the painting is the only one present in the entire area. He is sitting on top of jagged looking rocks that are piled all around him. Behind the boy is a light blue sky that does not appear to have any clouds in it. The boy is wearing a black cloak and black boots. He is also wearing black and white striped pants and a matching shirt, which could very well be pajamas. His expression is slightly smiling, but his lips are fully closed. The boy's cheeks are also rosy and red, which makes his face look flush against the pale background.
