"Portrait of a Young Boy in a Red Suit Holding a Bow and Arrow" is an 18th-century painting by the English artist Arthur William Devis (1762–1822). Devis, known for his portraits and historical scenes, was part of a family of painters that included his father, also an artist, Thomas Devis. This particular work is characteristic of Devis's portraiture style, which often depicted the sitters in genteel and serene settings, reflective of the period's aesthetic values and the social status of his clients.

The painting captures a young boy, presumably of an affluent background given the typical clientele of Devis, dressed in a red suit which was a fashionable color for children's clothing at the time. The inclusion of a bow and arrow as props suggests themes of playfulness and the romantic idealization of childhood. It also may allude to the classical figure of Cupid, drawing a parallel between the innocence of the child and the innocence of love.

The composition, use of color, and the rendering of the fabrics showcase Devis's skill in capturing the textures and materials of the time. His work is often noted for its attention to detail and the ability to convey the personality and status of the sitter through subtle cues in posture and expression.

"Portrait of a Young Boy in a Red Suit Holding a Bow and Arrow" is an example of the transitional period in British art, as the grandeur of the Baroque gave way to the more intimate and naturalistic style of the Georgian era. Devis's work, while not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, provides valuable insight into the social and cultural milieu of late 18th-century England.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Arthur William Devis that contributes to the understanding of British portraiture. It remains an important piece for study by art historians and enthusiasts interested in the period, the artist, and the evolution of portrait painting in Britain.
