HALF-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF A NUDE BOY, 1580/89 North Dutch School. In the 16th century, deceased children were often depicted nude in posthumous portraits. This hypothesis is confirmed by the roses seen as a symbol of resurrection and hope of eternal life. The two open flowers and the bud possibly represent the parents and the child who died at a very young age.
