"Portrait of Jonathan Buttall (The Blue Boy)" is a full-length portrait painted by the renowned English artist Thomas Gainsborough in 1770. The painting is one of Gainsborough's most famous works and is notable for its striking use of color, composition, and the skillful portrayal of fabric and texture. It depicts Jonathan Buttall, the son of a wealthy hardware merchant, dressed in a lavish blue costume reminiscent of the work of Anthony van Dyck, whose style Gainsborough admired.

The painting is a masterful example of Gainsborough's ability to capture the elegance and grace of his subjects, and it is often regarded as an icon of British art. "The Blue Boy" is characterized by its rich, deep blue hues, which contrast dramatically with the softer tones of the subject's skin and the landscape background. Gainsborough's use of loose, expressive brushstrokes contributes to the dynamic and lively quality of the portrait.

Originally displayed in Gainsborough's studio, the painting was later sold and has changed hands several times. It gained international fame when it was sold to the American railway pioneer Henry Edwards Huntington in 1921 and became part of the collection at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, where it remains on public display.

"The Blue Boy" has been the subject of extensive art historical research and has been featured in numerous exhibitions. Its influence extends beyond the art world, having been referenced in popular culture and serving as an inspiration for fashion, literature, and film. The painting is often discussed in the context of Gainsborough's broader body of work and is considered a key example of the Rococo style's influence on British portraiture in the 18th century.
