"The Red Boy: Portrait of Master McDonough, Full-Length, in a Red Jacket and Breeches with a Black Hat, Holding a Cricket Bat, in a Wooded Landscape" is a notable work by the 18th-century British painter John Opie, RA (1761–1807). This portrait, which is often simply referred to as "The Red Boy," depicts a young boy, identified as Master McDonough, dressed in a vibrant red jacket and breeches, a fashion that was typical for affluent children of the period. The boy's attire is complemented by a black hat, and he is shown holding a cricket bat, suggesting both his social status and the leisure activities of the time.

John Opie, known for his portraits and historical subjects, was a prominent figure in the art world of his day, earning the moniker "the Cornish Wonder" for his precocious talent. In this work, Opie's skill in capturing the character and innocence of childhood is evident, as is his ability to render clothing and textures with great detail and realism. The setting of the portrait, a wooded landscape, adds a bucolic charm and depth to the composition, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between the subject and his environment.

"The Red Boy" is a fine example of Opie's portraiture and offers insight into the conventions of child portraiture during the Georgian era. The painting is celebrated for its rich color palette, particularly the striking use of red, which serves to draw the viewer's attention and highlight the youthful subject. Although the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the late 18th century, during the height of Opie's career.

As a significant contribution to British portraiture, "The Red Boy" has been the subject of study and admiration by art historians and enthusiasts alike. The painting is also an important artifact of cultural history, reflecting the social customs and material culture of the time. While the current location of the original painting is not specified in this introduction, it remains an important work within John Opie's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
