The Portrait of Paul Chenavard is an oil-on-canvas painting by Gustave Courbet, a prominent figure in French Realism. Completed in 1869, it depicts artist Paul Chenavard during his troubled exhibition of The Divine Tragedy in Munich. Courbet visually portrays Chenavard at the age of 62, capturing his persona and the era's prevailing artistic outlook. The attention to detail and the realistic representation of its subject matter exemplify Courbet's mastery of the Realist style. Today, the portrait is preserved and displayed at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon.
