A reinterpretation of Thomas Gainsborough's painting, "The Blue Boy" (c. 1770)
Readymade paint-by-numbers, acrylic, canvas, dissecting needles
O Blue Boy, you're confident and posed;
So genteel with those coat buttons closed.
What have you got under
That jacket I wonder?
The vogue look is organs exposed.
