Be sure to check my other listings for more.

Here we have a signed Victorian miniature full-body portrait of a boy in blue attire. I believe the artwork is inspired by "The Blue Boy" (c. 1770) painting by Thomas Gainsborough. The pose, setting, clothing, and even his hair part are very similar in design and layout.

The boy is in an outdoor setting near a body of water and some earth-tone shrubbery that feels very much like Fall. He's standing confidently forward, with a hand on his hip that's also draped with a jacket or cape. In his other hand he is holding a feathered hat.

It has an ornate and textured metal frame (of either brass or bronze) with a wavy bow at the top. The glass is slightly convex; an intentional outward curve. The backside has gothic looking lettering as a design texture. The sticker says 89 – right below that, in pencil someone has written Blue Boy.

It's signed in the bottom left – looks to say V. Day. or ViDayi... I included a close-up shot for you to help decipher it.

Approximately 3.25-inches wide by 4.5-inches tall.

Clean with very little wear – expect minimal light surface scratches and scuffs, and some dust particles... all very minor and minimal. Age appropriate patina to metal surfaces.

The images taken through loop are there to show paint strokes and details (and to show it's an actual painting, not a print).

Overall, a handsome detailed portrait of a boy in blue.
