Painting Description
"The Red Boy" is the popular name given to the portrait "Portrait of Master Lambton," painted by the renowned English artist Sir Thomas Lawrence in 1825. The subject of this captivating oil painting is Master Charles William Lambton, the eldest son of John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham, and Lady Louisa Elizabeth Grey. The portrait is celebrated for its vibrant color palette, particularly the rich red of the boy's costume, which contrasts strikingly with the verdant landscape background and gives the artwork its colloquial name.
Sir Thomas Lawrence, a leading portrait painter of the Regency era and President of the Royal Academy, was known for his ability to capture the character and elegance of his sitters. In "The Red Boy," Lawrence depicts young Lambton at the age of six, in a relaxed, reclining pose that exudes both aristocratic confidence and childlike innocence. The painting is a quintessential example of Lawrence's mastery in rendering textures and fabrics, as evidenced by the detailed depiction of the boy's clothing and the tactile quality of his golden hair.
Measuring 137.2 cm × 106.7 cm (54 in × 42 in), the portrait was commissioned by Lambton's father and quickly gained acclaim for its artistic merit and the charm of its young subject. It has since become one of Lawrence's most famous works, admired for its technical proficiency and its poignant representation of youth and potential.
"The Red Boy" has a storied provenance, having been held in private collections and exhibited in various galleries over the years. It remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Sir Thomas Lawrence and a cherished example of British portraiture from the early 19th century. The painting continues to attract attention from art historians and the public alike, both for its aesthetic qualities and as a document of the social and cultural mores of its time.
