Мальчик с Мороженым - Boy With Ice cream

This is Lion. That is literally his name. In Russian anyway.

He is the son of an amazing Russian photographer Maria Patsan (@Maria_patsan). 

Before seeing Maria’s work, I had never seen anyone eat ice cream from a cone with a spoon, yet alone with the ice cream cone, then also and as well -  in a bowl! Suffice it to say, I was totally blown away and knew that I wanted to paint that photograph. Spending so much time doing this piece, I also became intrigued by the rebelliousness of the situation along with the practicality.

It also left me with a deep sense of curiosity as he glances off to his right. What has his attention so that would distract him from his treat?
