C. Blair is a 1830 oil by Unknown, a British Romanticism work, held at Detroit Institute of Arts.
This painting shows a young boy sitting in a wooden chair, holding an accordion. He has short brown hair and wears a black jacket with a white ruffled collar and red pants. The background is a plain gray wall. The boy's attire and the style of the chair suggest a formal setting, possibly a portrait session. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the image.
