"Boy with Bread and Butter" (c. 1875) is a painting by Hungarian artist Bertalan Székely (1835–1910), known for his historical themes and as a leading figure of the Romantic movement in Hungarian art. This work, however, diverges from his typical subject matter, presenting a genre scene that captures a moment in the daily life of a young boy. The painting is characterized by its intimate portrayal of the child, who is depicted in a candid, unguarded moment as he enjoys a simple meal of bread and butter.

The composition of "Boy with Bread and Butter" is marked by Székely's attention to detail and his ability to convey texture and mood through his use of light and shadow. The boy's expression is one of contentment and focus, suggesting a sense of comfort in the humble act of eating. Székely's brushwork in the depiction of the bread and butter demonstrates his skill in still life, while the boy's clothing and the setting provide context that can offer insights into the social and cultural aspects of the period.

As a work of art, "Boy with Bread and Butter" stands out in Székely's oeuvre as an example of his versatility and his capacity to evoke empathy and narrative through the genre of portraiture. The painting is a testament to the artist's proficiency beyond his more recognized historical and mythological scenes, showcasing his adeptness in capturing the simplicity and universality of human experience.

While "Boy with Bread and Butter" may not be as widely recognized as Székely's grander historical paintings, it remains a significant piece that contributes to the understanding of his artistic range and the broader context of 19th-century Hungarian art. The painting is appreciated for its quiet elegance and the way it reflects the everyday life of the era, providing a contrast to the more dramatic and nationalistic themes prevalent in Székely's body of work.
