"Thomas Alphonso Hayley as Puck, c.1790" is a notable painting by the distinguished British artist George Romney. This work captures the youthful and mischievous essence of Puck, a character from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The painting features Thomas Alphonso Hayley, the son of Romney's close friend and patron, William Hayley, a poet and writer. The young Thomas, often referred to as Tom, was a frequent subject in Romney's works, and his portrayal as Puck is one of the most celebrated.

George Romney, one of the leading portraitists of his time, was renowned for his ability to capture the character and spirit of his sitters. In this painting, Romney employs his skillful use of light and shadow to bring out the playful and impish nature of Puck. The boy is depicted with a lively expression, his eyes sparkling with mischief, and his posture exuding a sense of movement and energy. The background is kept relatively simple, ensuring that the focus remains on the figure of Tom as Puck.

The choice of Puck as a subject is significant, as it reflects the Romantic fascination with Shakespearean characters and themes during the late 18th century. Puck, also known as Robin Goodfellow, is a sprite or fairy known for his playful and sometimes troublesome antics, making him an ideal subject for the lively and spirited young Tom.

This painting not only showcases Romney's technical prowess but also his ability to convey narrative and emotion through portraiture. It stands as a testament to the close relationship between the artist and the Hayley family, and to the cultural milieu of the period, where literature, art, and personal connections often intertwined. The work remains an important piece in the study of George Romney's oeuvre and the broader context of 18th-century British art.
