Displayed here is one of Blanco’s travelling documented paintings while he was visiting Japan. “Portrait of Japanese Boy” is considered one of his most scarce paintings that were even dated way before his famous Balinese women. The ambience in this oil painting captures the innocence and curiosity of a young Japanese school boy gazing upon his environment, deep in thought. Nostalgia and melancholia evokes the hearts of the viewers, it questions the reality and is immersed into a mode of dreams and passion.

这里展出的是布兰科在日本旅行时创作的旅行记录画作之一。《日本男孩肖像》被认为是他最稀有的画作之一，创作时间甚至早于他著名的巴厘岛女性。这幅油画的氛围捕捉到了一个日本小学生的天真和好奇，他凝视着周围的环境，陷入沉思。怀旧和忧郁唤起了观众的心灵，它质疑现实，沉浸在梦想和激情的模式中。
