The "Portrait of Joseph Stannard 1797-1830 as a Youth" is a notable work by the English painter Robert Ladbrooke, an artist renowned for his contributions to landscape painting and his role in the Norwich School of painters. This portrait captures the youthful visage of Joseph Stannard, who would later emerge as a distinguished marine painter and a significant figure within the same artistic movement. The Norwich School, active during the early 19th century, was the first provincial art movement in Britain and was characterized by its members' dedication to capturing the natural beauty of the Norfolk landscape.

Robert Ladbrooke, born in 1768, was a contemporary and close associate of John Crome, another prominent figure of the Norwich School. Ladbrooke's oeuvre primarily includes landscapes, but his foray into portraiture, as evidenced by this painting, demonstrates his versatility and skill in capturing the human form and character. The portrait of Joseph Stannard is particularly significant as it not only showcases Ladbrooke's technical prowess but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the early life of Stannard, who would go on to make his own mark in the art world.

The painting is executed with a keen attention to detail, highlighting Ladbrooke's ability to render textures and expressions with precision. The youthful innocence and potential of Stannard are palpable, offering a poignant glimpse into the early years of an artist whose life and career, though tragically short, would leave a lasting impact on the Norwich School and British art. This portrait stands as a testament to the interconnectedness of the artists within the Norwich School and their mutual influence on each other's work and legacy.
