"Thomas Linley the Younger (1756–1778)" is an oil painting by the renowned 18th-century English portraitist Thomas Gainsborough. Completed in 1770, the artwork is a half-length portrait that captures the youthful likeness of Thomas Linley the Younger, a prodigious English musician and composer. Linley, a contemporary and friend of the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was known for his exceptional talent and was often referred to as the "English Mozart."

The painting is notable for its sensitive portrayal of Linley, who is depicted with an air of gentle melancholy, a characteristic that Gainsborough was adept at conveying in his subjects. The artist's use of soft, diffused lighting and delicate brushwork enhances the ethereal quality of the portrait, which is imbued with a sense of the sitter's artistic sensibility. The subject's gaze is introspective, and his informal attire, including a loosely tied cravat and an open collared shirt, suggests a private, candid moment rather than a formal sitting.

Gainsborough's portrait of Thomas Linley the Younger is celebrated for its technical excellence and its ability to convey the personality and inner life of the sitter. The painting is a testament to the close relationship between artist and subject, as Gainsborough was known to have admired the young musician's talents. The work is held in high esteem for its contribution to the understanding of portraiture during the late 18th century and provides valuable insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the period.

The painting is part of the collection at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, where it remains an important piece within the gallery's extensive collection of Old Master paintings. As a significant work by Gainsborough, it continues to attract attention from art historians and enthusiasts alike for its evocative representation of one of the most promising musical talents of the 18th century, whose life was tragically cut short at the age of 22.
