"The Red Boy" is a notable portrait painting by the renowned British artist Sir Thomas Lawrence, completed in 1825. Officially titled "Master Charles William Lambton," the work is often referred to by its colloquial name due to the vibrant red costume worn by the young subject. The painting depicts Charles William Lambton, the son of John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham, and grandson of William Henry Lambton, at the age of six. Lambton would later become known as "The Red Boy," a moniker that has persisted through history.

The portrait is celebrated for its masterful representation of youthful innocence and aristocratic elegance, showcasing Lawrence's exceptional skill in capturing the character and personality of his sitters. The young Lambton is portrayed in a relaxed, reclining pose against a pastoral backdrop, which contrasts with his formal attire, creating a striking visual narrative. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the red of his outfit, and the delicate rendering of his features, contribute to the painting's enduring appeal and status as one of Lawrence's masterpieces.

Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769–1830) was a leading English portrait painter and the fourth president of the Royal Academy. His work was highly regarded for its sophistication, charm, and the psychological insight he brought to his depictions of high society figures. "The Red Boy" is a prime example of Lawrence's late style, characterized by a confident use of paint and a refined elegance in composition.

The painting has held a significant place in British art history and has been the subject of various exhibitions and scholarly discussions. It remains an important work within the oeuvre of Sir Thomas Lawrence and continues to captivate audiences with its striking visual impact and the story behind its creation and subject. "The Red Boy" is part of a private collection, having been sold at auction on several occasions, most notably achieving a record price for a British Old Master painting in 1961. Its cultural significance is reflected in its frequent reproduction and the continued interest it generates among art historians and the public alike.
