"Portrait of a Boy with Straw Hat" is a notable work by the American folk artist Joseph Goodhue Chandler, who was active during the mid-19th century. Chandler, born in 1813 in South Hadley, Massachusetts, is recognized for his contributions to the American folk art tradition, particularly through his portraits that capture the essence of rural New England life. This painting exemplifies Chandler's characteristic style, which combines a straightforward, unembellished approach with a keen attention to detail.

The portrait depicts a young boy, whose identity remains unknown, wearing a straw hat that is indicative of the period's rural attire. The boy's direct gaze and the simplicity of his clothing suggest a sense of innocence and earnestness, common themes in Chandler's work. The background is typically plain, focusing the viewer's attention entirely on the subject, a technique Chandler often employed to emphasize the individuality and presence of his sitters.

Chandler's work is often celebrated for its honest representation of his subjects, devoid of the romanticism that characterized much of the contemporary portraiture. His paintings provide valuable insights into the lives of ordinary people in 19th-century America, making them significant both artistically and historically. "Portrait of a Boy with Straw Hat" is a fine example of Chandler's ability to convey personality and emotion through minimalistic yet expressive means.

The painting is part of a broader collection of Chandler's works that have been preserved and studied for their contribution to American folk art. It reflects the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and his commitment to portraying the everyday lives of his contemporaries. As such, "Portrait of a Boy with Straw Hat" holds an important place in the canon of American art, offering a window into the cultural and social fabric of its time.
