"Portrait Of A Boy, Believed To Be The Artist's Youngest Brother Henry, As 'young Norval', Bust-length, In A Dark Jacket And White Shirt, Holding A Sword" is an evocative oil painting by the renowned English artist John Sell Cotman. This work, executed on canvas and later laid down on panel, measures 22¼ x 18 1/8 inches. Cotman, primarily celebrated for his contributions to the English Romantic movement and his mastery in watercolors, demonstrates his versatility and skill in portraiture through this piece.

The painting is believed to depict Cotman's youngest brother, Henry, in the guise of 'young Norval,' a character from John Home's 18th-century tragedy "Douglas." The character of young Norval is a symbol of youthful bravery and nobility, themes that resonate through the boy's poised yet earnest expression. The dark jacket and white shirt worn by the subject contrast sharply with the background, drawing the viewer's attention to the boy's face and the sword he holds, which further emphasizes the martial and heroic undertones of the character he represents.

Cotman's choice of subject and the intimate portrayal suggest a personal connection and a deep affection for his brother, capturing not just a likeness but a moment of imaginative play and aspiration. The artist's adept handling of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail in the boy's attire and the texture of the sword, showcases his technical proficiency and his ability to convey emotion and narrative through portraiture.

This painting is a testament to Cotman's range as an artist, extending beyond his well-known landscapes and architectural studies. It offers a glimpse into the personal life of the artist and his family, enriching our understanding of Cotman's oeuvre and the intimate world that influenced his artistic vision.
