Manet Paintings

Boy with cherries: The young boy slumps against the wall, luxurious mauve red cherries tumble out of a make shift basket of leaves. The red cap he wears at a rakish angle brands him as a rascal, a raider of orchards, an artful dodger of the market stalls. His smile, which Manet uses as a confirmation that a child is guiltless in a world of chaos.
