"Portrait of a Young Boy" is a notable work by the 18th-century Italian painter Ubaldo Gandolfi (1728–1781), who was renowned for his contribution to the Baroque and Rococo art movements. This painting is an example of Gandolfi's skill in portraiture, a genre in which he excelled alongside his better-known religious and mythological compositions. The artwork captures the innocence and the emerging personality of a young boy, reflecting the artist's ability to render the subtleties of human expression with empathy and technical finesse.

Ubaldo Gandolfi, born in San Matteo della Decima and active primarily in Bologna, was part of an influential family of artists that included his brother Gaetano Gandolfi and his son Mauro Gandolfi. Ubaldo's work was characterized by a strong chiaroscuro and a dynamic use of color, which is evident in the "Portrait of a Young Boy." The painting showcases the artist's adept use of light and shadow to model the young subject's features, imbuing the portrait with a sense of depth and realism.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to Gandolfi's mature period. The identity of the young boy is also not definitively known, which adds an element of mystery to the work. The portrait is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Gandolfi to achieve a rich texture and a delicate interplay of tones.

"Portrait of a Young Boy" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of 18th-century Italian portraiture. It provides insight into the social and cultural context of the time, particularly in terms of fashion and the representation of children in art. The work is held in high regard by art historians and critics for its contribution to the understanding of Gandolfi's oeuvre and the broader trends in European portraiture of the era.

The painting is part of a collection in a museum or private collection, and it has been exhibited and studied as part of Gandolfi's body of work. It continues to attract scholarly attention and remains an important piece for those studying the evolution of portrait painting in Italy during the 18th century.
