A Scene from Gil Blas is a 1839 unspecified by Daniel Maclise, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a scene of a man standing in a room with several other people. He is wearing a blue and gold outfit and has his right arm raised. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the left side that lets in some natural light. The man appears to be in the middle of a conversation or performance, as the other people in the room are watching him intently. One woman is sitting on a chair, while another is standing in the doorway. There is also a man sitting on the floor, looking up at the standing man. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of drama and tension, with the standing man being the central figure.
