'Don Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zúñiga' is an iconic full-length portrait painted on canvas by Francisco Goya in 1787-88. Capturing a young boy clad in red with an intriguing scene of cats and birds, commonly referred to as Goya's "Red Boy," the painting showcases the influence of Romanticism in its emotional depth. The piece, painted using oil-based pigments, is considered "one of the most appealing and successful portraits of children ever painted," according to art historian Claus Virch. It has been displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, since 1949.
