"A Young Boy with Long Hair, Bust-Length" is a sculptural artwork attributed to Gian Lorenzo Bernini, a preeminent Italian artist known for his contributions to Baroque sculpture. Bernini's oeuvre is celebrated for its dynamic forms, intricate details, and expressive realism, which often captured the psychological intensity of his subjects. This particular bust, although less documented than his more famous works such as "Apollo and Daphne" or "The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa," exemplifies Bernini's skill in rendering the delicate features and lively presence of a young boy.

The sculpture is believed to have been created in the early 17th century, during Bernini's formative years when he was under the influence of his father, Pietro Bernini, also a renowned sculptor. The bust-length portrayal of the boy is notable for its naturalistic representation of hair and the softness of youthful skin, which Bernini achieved through his masterful chiseling of marble. The subject's long, flowing hair cascades around the shoulders, suggesting both the fashion of the time and the unbridled nature of youth.

While the identity of the boy remains unknown, the work is often discussed in the context of Bernini's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with immediacy and intimacy. The bust's size and the level of detail suggest that it was intended for close viewing, allowing the observer to engage with the subject on a personal level. The sculpture's provenance and history have not been as thoroughly documented as other pieces by Bernini, which may be due to its private commissioning or the relative obscurity of the subject.

Despite the lack of extensive records, "A Young Boy with Long Hair, Bust-Length" is recognized as an important piece within Bernini's body of work, offering insight into his early artistic development and his lifelong fascination with human expression. The bust is occasionally displayed in art exhibitions that focus on the Baroque period or Bernini's artistic legacy, contributing to the understanding of the artist's early style and the cultural milieu of 17th-century Italy.
