Reproduction of 'The Blue Boy' by Thomas Gainsborough

This item is a framed reproduction of the famous 1770 oil painting 'The Blue Boy' by Thomas Gainsborough. The artwork depicts Jonathan Buttall in a full-length portrait, dressed in an elaborate 17th-century 'Cavalier' costume of vibrant blue satin, including a slashed doublet and breeches. He holds a plumed hat in his right hand. The print appears to be a mid-to-late 20th-century lithograph or textured print on board, designed to mimic the look of a canvas. It is housed in an elongated vertical wooden frame with a tapered profile. The frame exhibits a light-colored or gilded inner lip and probably dates from the 1960s or 70s based on its style and the proportions of the molding. The color saturation in the print remains strong, though the image quality is somewhat grainy, suggesting it is a commercial mass-market reproduction rather than a high-end limited edition. There are visible signs of age including minor scuffing on the frame edges and some potential dust accumulation on the surface of the print. No artist signatures or specific manufacturer stamps are visible from this angle, but the composition is a direct copy of the original masterpiece housed at the Huntington Library.
