Two Seated Men and a Standing Boy (study for 'The Covenanters' Baptism') is a 1830 unspecified by George Harvey, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts three men in a scene that appears to be a study for a larger work. The two seated men are dressed in dark attire, while the standing boy wears lighter clothing. The men are positioned in a way that suggests they are engaged in a serious conversation or ritual. The artist has used a range of colors and textures to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The dark clothing of the seated men provides a striking contrast to the lighter tones of the boy's clothing and the background. The painting is a study for "The Covenanters' Baptism," and it showcases the artist's skill in capturing the emotions and interactions of his subjects.

Sir George Frederick Harvey (1 February 1806 – 22 January 1876) was a Scottish painter and President of the Royal Scottish Academy.
