This is a sweet print of a classical painting, classically framed, Thomas Gainsborough's (1727-1788) "Blue Boy". While the English painter of this piece is quite celebrated, nobody knows the identity of the "blue boy". What is his significance? Why did this painting feature in Quentin Tarrantino's "Django Unchained" and appear in two Batman films, a James Bond movie and even a Star Trek blockbuster? Contemplate this as you look at this small print in its glorious frame. The suggested price for this 1770 masterpiece is only $50. (Dimensions: 7 1/4” x 61/4”)

(Personal Note on my suggested price: I sure don’t know how much the item offered might be worth to you or any official appraiser, but it reflects what it is worth to me if I were to part with it. The descriptions match my best, honest and, undoubtedly, imperfect, unprofessional efforts. All the best to all of you.)
