"The Blue Boy" print/reproduction

Description

Framed reproduction portrait of a young boy in a blue satin suit, standing in a landscape. The boy is holding a feathered hat.

Appraisal Report

This appears to be a reproduction of Thomas Gainsborough's famous painting "The Blue Boy". The original is housed in the Huntington Library in California and is one of the most iconic pieces of British art. Without being able to examine the work in person, it's difficult to determine the method of reproduction (print, modern painting, etc.) and the age. The frame appears ornate but may also be a reproduction. A reproduction print or modern copy would have minimal value, likely under $50. An older, higher-quality reproduction could fetch slightly more, depending on condition and rarity.
