"The Blue Boy" is a renowned oil painting by English painter Thomas Gainsborough, believed to have been completed around 1770. The painting depicts a young boy, confidently posed and dressed in a striking blue outfit, which was unusual for the time as blue was not a common color for male attire. The subject is believed to be Jonathan Buttall, the son of a wealthy hardware merchant, who was a close friend of Gainsborough.

The painting is celebrated for its brilliant use of color and the sophisticated rendering of fabric textures. Gainsborough's skill in capturing the texture of the satin and the intricate lacework is particularly notable. The boy's pose and attire draw inspiration from Van Dyck's portraits, reflecting Gainsborough's admiration for the Flemish Baroque artist.

"The Blue Boy" has been an iconic piece in the history of British art and was a key exhibit at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, where it has been held since 1921. The painting not only exemplifies Gainsborough's mastery of portraiture but also serves as a significant cultural artifact, illustrating aspects of childhood, fashion, and society in the 18th-century England.
