Boy Lighting a Candle (Boy Blowing on an Ember) (1570-72) es un óleo sobre lienzo del pintor, escultor y arquitecto renacentista español El Greco. El instigador de esta pintura, representando a un niño que purga sus labios carnosos para soplar sobre la embajada para encender la mecha negra de una vela, de la cual la cera ya se funde por el calor, puede haber sido Fulvio Orsini, el bibliotecario del cardenal Alessandro Farnese en cuyo palacio El Greco residía entre 1570 y 1572. El título 'Soplón' (Blower) se dio en el inventario de Jorge Manuel. La pintura (60,5 x 50,5 cm) está en la colección del Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Nápoles.
