"Ruby, Gold and Malachite" is an oil painting created in 1902 by the English artist Henry Scott Tuke, a renowned painter known for his depictions of nude and semi-nude figures in the landscape. This painting is particularly notable for its exploration of color and light, as well as its subject matter that reflects Tuke's interest in the male figure and the sea.

The painting measures 137.2 x 152.4 cm (54 x 60 in) and is part of a series of works that Tuke produced during his career, which often featured young male models, many of whom were local boys from the area around Falmouth, Cornwall, where Tuke lived and worked. The title of the painting refers to the colors of the jewels and minerals: ruby, gold, and malachite, which are echoed in the tones of the painting and symbolize the richness and vibrancy of the natural setting.

In "Ruby, Gold and Malachite," Tuke captures three nude youths aboard a boat, bathed in the warm glow of sunlight. The composition is a celebration of youth and the beauty of the human form, set against the backdrop of the shimmering sea. The figures are rendered with a sense of vitality and naturalism, which was characteristic of Tuke's work and reflects his affiliation with the Newlyn School, a group of artists known for their realist and plein-air paintings.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical proficiency, particularly in the rendering of the translucent quality of water and the play of light on the skin of the figures. It is also significant for its cultural and historical context, as Tuke's works provide insight into the social attitudes towards male nudity and camaraderie at the turn of the 20th century.

"Ruby, Gold and Malachite" is part of the collection at the Guildhall Art Gallery in London. It continues to be a subject of academic interest and is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and contribution to the genre of British Impressionism and maritime art.
