"Un Mestizo de Manila" is a 19th-century oil painting by German painter Carl Johann Karuth, which depicts a mestizo - a person of mixed indigenous Filipino and foreign ancestry - from Manila. The painting is notable for its detailed representation of the subject's attire and the cultural significance of mestizos during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. Mestizos played a unique role in the social hierarchy of the time, often being intermediaries between the indigenous population and the colonial rulers.

Karuth's work is an important historical document that provides insight into the racial and social dynamics of Manila during the colonial era. The painting is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the mestizo's features and the intricate details of his clothing, which reflect the fusion of indigenous and European influences. The subject's pose and expression are rendered with a sense of dignity and poise, suggesting the complex identity and status of mestizos in Philippine society.

The painting is a valuable piece for both art historians and scholars of Philippine history, as it captures the nuances of colonial life and the blending of cultures that occurred during this period. "Un Mestizo de Manila" is often analyzed for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to understanding the historical context of the Philippines under Spanish rule.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during Karuth's time in the Philippines. The artwork is occasionally exhibited in art galleries and museums that focus on Philippine art and history, and it continues to be a subject of study for its portrayal of colonial-era mestizo identity and attire.
