"Balthazar, 1929" is a notable painting by the British artist Glyn Warren Philpot (1884–1937), who was renowned for his portraits and figure paintings. The work is a striking example of Philpot's skill in capturing the human form and his exploration of racial themes, which became more prominent in his later works. The painting depicts a young black man, Balthazar, in a half-length portrait, set against a muted background that accentuates the subject's features and expression.

The painting is significant for its representation of African subjects, which was relatively uncommon in British art at the time. Philpot's depiction of Balthazar is both dignified and empathetic, reflecting the artist's interest in the individuality and humanity of people from diverse backgrounds. The work is rendered with a combination of realism and a subtle stylization that was characteristic of Philpot's approach to portraiture.

Created during a period of transition in Philpot's career, "Balthazar, 1929" marks a shift from the more traditional Edwardian style of his earlier works to a modernist sensibility influenced by his contemporaries and the changing artistic landscape of the late 1920s. The painting's title refers to one of the Three Wise Men from the Biblical account of Jesus' nativity, suggesting a layer of religious or symbolic interpretation, although the connection to the Biblical Balthazar is not explicitly depicted in the work.

"Balthazar, 1929" is held in high regard for its technical mastery, its sensitive portrayal of the subject, and its place within the broader context of early 20th-century British art. The painting is part of the collection of the Tate Gallery in London, where it contributes to the narrative of British portraiture and the representation of black figures in Western art history.
