Portrait of a Boy, Probably of the Crossfield Family

The painting depicts a young man in 18th-century attire standing outdoors with a dog. He wears a green coat with large buttons, a matching vest and shorts, white stockings, and black shoes. His hair is styled in side curls, characteristic of the era. In his right hand, he holds a large paddle or racquet with a red handle, while his left hand grasps a bundle of papers or feathers. A brown and white dog sits beside him. The background features a landscape with trees, a body of water, and distant buildings under a cloudy sky.
