A boy in a red coat is an oil painting attributed to John Russell. The attribution is plausible given the painting’s soft, sfumato technique which is visible in both oil and pastel works by Russell. Russell was a prolific painter of portraits and fancy pictures, exhibiting some 329 paintings at the Royal Academy of Art, who was particularly renowned for his work in pastel and was also an astronomer.
