"Portrait of a Boy, Three-quarter-length, in a Red Slashed Doublet with a Blue Mantle, a Spaniel at His Side" is an 18th-century painting by the English artist Thomas Bardwell, known for his portraiture and painting during the Rococo period. The work is a fine example of Bardwell's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters, often members of the gentry and nobility. The painting depicts a young boy, positioned in a three-quarter-length pose, which was a common format in portraiture of the time, allowing the artist to present both the appearance and the social status of the subject.

The boy is dressed in a red slashed doublet, a fashionable garment of the period that features cuts or slashes through which the fabric underneath is pulled through to create decorative puffs. This style of clothing is indicative of the boy's social standing and the wealth of his family. Complementing the doublet, the boy wears a blue mantle, adding a touch of elegance and color contrast to the composition. The presence of the mantle may also suggest the boy's noble lineage or the family's aspirations.

Accompanying the boy is a spaniel, a breed of dog that was popular among the aristocracy and often featured in portraits as a symbol of loyalty or as a cherished pet. The inclusion of the animal not only adds a sense of warmth and intimacy to the portrait but also serves to illustrate the boy's status and the leisurely pursuits associated with the upper classes.

Thomas Bardwell (1704–1767) was an accomplished painter and writer, with his treatise "The Practice of Painting and Perspective Made Easy" being published in 1756. While Bardwell's works are less well-known today, they provide valuable insights into the fashions, faces, and social hierarchies of 18th-century England. "Portrait of a Boy" is a testament to Bardwell's artistic abilities and offers a glimpse into the life and attire of the youth of that era. The painting is an important piece within Bardwell's oeuvre, contributing to the understanding of portraiture conventions and the representation of children in the art of the period.
