The "Portrait of Alfred Bruyas" is a notable work by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, painted in 1853. This portrait is significant for its depiction of Alfred Bruyas, an influential art collector and patron of the arts during the 19th century in France. Bruyas was known for his support and patronage of many artists of his time, including Delacroix himself, making this work not only a piece of art but also a historical document of the relationship between artist and patron.

Delacroix, renowned for his expressive brushwork and use of color, brings forth a representation of Bruyas that is both intimate and revealing. The portrait is a testament to the skill of Delacroix, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of his sitter through a masterful blend of realism and emotional depth. The work is characterized by its detailed depiction of Bruyas' features, the thoughtful composition, and the use of light and shadow, which highlight the introspective nature of the subject.

This painting is an important piece within Delacroix's oeuvre, illustrating the artist's proficiency in portraiture, a genre that he approached with the same fervor and intensity as his historical and orientalist scenes. The "Portrait of Alfred Bruyas" not only immortalizes an important figure in the art world of the 19th century but also serves as a reflection of the intellectual and cultural exchanges that were central to the period's artistic community.

Housed in the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France, the portrait remains a key work for scholars studying Delacroix's portraiture, the artist-patron relationship, and the broader context of 19th-century French art. Its significance is underscored by its inclusion in the museum's collection, which was significantly enriched by Bruyas' own donations, including works by Delacroix and other contemporaries, making the "Portrait of Alfred Bruyas" not only a masterpiece of French Romanticism but also a piece deeply embedded in the history of art patronage and collection.
