About the piece
Dating from around 1730, this portrait depicts a young boy in a striking blue coat and green waistcoat, accented by bright orange stockings. Standing beside a spaniel looking up at him, the figure is set against a theatrical interior featuring a heavy gold curtain and a glimpse of a landscape at dusk.
