"Portrait Of A Young Blond Boy In A Buttoned Navy Blue Jacket And Ruffled Collar, Holding A Red Drawstring Gunnysack" is a notable work by the American itinerant portrait artist Zedekiah Belknap (1781–1858). Belknap, who was active primarily in the early to mid-19th century, is recognized for his distinctive style that captures the essence of early American portraiture. This particular painting exemplifies his approach to capturing the innocence and simplicity of childhood during this period.

The portrait features a young blond boy, whose identity remains unknown, dressed in a buttoned navy blue jacket with a ruffled collar, a common fashion detail of the time. The boy's attire suggests a sense of formality and attention to detail, indicative of the period's sartorial norms for children from relatively affluent families. The red drawstring gunnysack he holds adds a vibrant contrast to the otherwise subdued color palette of the portrait, drawing attention to the boy's hands and suggesting a narrative element or personal significance, though its exact meaning remains speculative.

Belknap's technique in this portrait is characterized by meticulous attention to facial features and clothing details, which was typical of his work. His portraits often exhibit a sense of directness and simplicity, focusing on the sitter's expression and attire rather than elaborate backgrounds or settings. This approach not only highlights the subject but also provides a glimpse into the fashion and cultural milieu of early 19th-century America.

The painting is an excellent representation of Belknap's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to convey personality and character through portraiture. It also serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the clothing, aesthetics, and social customs of the time. As with many of Belknap's works, the portrait remains a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with clarity and sensitivity.
