Boy Carrying a Sword is an 1861 oil painting by the French artist Édouard Manet and is now displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The work depicts a small boy costumed as a page of the Spanish court of the seventeenth century; he is holding a full-sized sword and sword belt. The work was later reproduced as an etching under the direction of Dijon painter and etcher Alphonse Legros who collaborated in the work.[1]

L'Enfant à l'épée est un tableau réalisé par le peintre Édouard Manet en 1861. L'œuvre représente le probable fils naturel de l'artiste, Léon Koëlla-Leenhoff, déguisé en page de la cour d'Espagne du XVIIe siècle. Léon ne fut jamais reconnu par son père. L'épée trop lourde pour l'enfant pourrait à la fois symboliser le père absent et le secret lourd à garder. Le tableau a été réalisé dans l'atelier de la rue Guyot, aujourd'hui rue Médéric.
