"A Young Boy Applying His Sister's Makeup" is a genre painting by the French artist Louis-Léopold Boilly, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. Boilly was renowned for his detailed and lively depictions of French urban life, particularly during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic era. This painting is a charming example of his work, capturing an intimate and playful moment between siblings.

The artwork features a young boy, with a look of concentration, applying makeup to his sister's face. The sister, seated and adorned in a delicate dress of the period, appears to be enjoying the attention and the playful act. The scene is set within a domestic interior, which Boilly renders with his characteristic attention to the textures and materials of the surroundings, from the furnishings to the clothing.

Boilly's work often included elements of satire and social commentary, but in this painting, the mood is one of innocence and familial affection. The interaction between the siblings is tender and suggests the everyday amusements of children, a subject that would have resonated with the bourgeois clientele that Boilly often catered to.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Boilly to achieve fine detail and subtle gradations of light and color. His skill in capturing the nuances of facial expression and body language adds to the narrative quality of the work.

"A Young Boy Applying His Sister's Makeup" is a testament to Boilly's skill in capturing the nuances of private life and his ability to infuse his subjects with warmth and humanity. It remains an important work within Boilly's oeuvre, offering insight into the social and cultural mores of his time, as well as the enduring themes of childhood and play.
