The artwork titled “Tom Hayley as Robin Goodfellow” was created by the artist George Romney in the year 1792. This painting belongs to the Rococo art movement and is classified as a portrait.
In the artwork, a young boy is depicted, characterized by a gentle expression and rosy cheeks. His hands are raised, playfully touching his head just above his ears, adding a playful air to the portrait. Adorning his head is a crown of flowers, adding a whimsical and almost mythical touch to the character. The background is softly rendered in earthy tones, which accentuates the figure by contrast. The use of light and shadow expertly highlights the delicate features of the boy, demonstrating Romney’s mastery in portraiture.
