About the Item

This is a classical-style portrait painting of a young boy set against a natural, outdoor background. The subject is depicted from the waist up, dressed in a rich teal-blue garment with voluminous sleeves and a delicate white lace collar. The boy has short, neatly combed dark hair and gazes softly at the viewer with a composed, slightly solemn expression. In his hand, he holds a slim object—possibly a walking stick, riding crop, or parasol—suggesting a leisurely or genteel context. The background features a cloud-dappled sky partially obscured by the dark overhang of leafy trees, lending a sense of depth and romantic atmosphere to the scene. The painting is rendered with smooth brushwork and subtle shading that capture the soft textures of the boy’s clothing and the natural light falling on his face. The palette is rich but subdued, dominated by earthy greens, blues, and soft skin tones. Overall, this portrait reflects a formal, aristocratic style—likely inspired by or imitative of traditional English or European portraiture from the late 18th to early 19th century. It conveys a sense of refinement, innocence, and dignity. This was originally purchased by our owner in England during one of his many buying trips over 20 years ago. It has remained in their collection until now.
