"Portrait of a Boy, Bust-Length, Wearing a Hat" is a watercolor painting by the English artist William Henry Hunt (1790–1864), known for his mastery in the medium and his contribution to the development of English watercolor painting. This work exemplifies Hunt's keen observation of detail and his ability to capture the character and mood of his subjects, often children, with a sense of intimacy and immediacy.

The painting features a young boy depicted in bust-length, set against a neutral background that accentuates the subject. The boy is adorned with a hat, which was a common element in portraits of the era, adding both character and a touch of formality to the depiction. Hunt's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of textures, is evident in the portrayal of the fabric of the hat and the boy's clothing.

William Henry Hunt was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Although not a formal member, William Henry Hunt's attention to naturalistic detail and his commitment to working from nature paralleled the principles of the Brotherhood. His portraits, still lifes, and genre scenes were celebrated for their vivid realism and meticulous finish, qualities that are also present in "Portrait of a Boy, Bust-Length, Wearing a Hat."

This painting is representative of Hunt's genre of portraiture, which often focused on the rural poor and working-class individuals, capturing their simple dignity with a sense of compassion and respect. The artwork's date of creation is not specified, but it falls within the period of Hunt's mature style, which typically dates from the 1820s until his death in 1864.

"Portrait of a Boy, Bust-Length, Wearing a Hat" is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its contribution to the understanding of 19th-century British society and the role of watercolor in the era's artistic expression. The painting remains a testament to William Henry Hunt's legacy as one of the foremost watercolorists of his time.
