"A Hermit" is an oil painting by the British artist Richard Dadd (1817–1886), known for his works created after he became insane. Dadd painted this piece during his confinement in Bethlem and Broadmoor hospitals after he was declared criminally insane for the murder of his father. The painting, which dates from the mid-19th century, is one of the numerous fairy and fantasy-themed artworks that Dadd produced during his institutionalization.

The painting depicts a solitary figure, presumably a hermit, in a richly detailed landscape filled with Dadd's characteristic intricate brushwork and fantastical elements. The hermit is often seen as a representation of Dadd's own isolation from society due to his mental illness and incarceration. The work is imbued with a sense of melancholy and introspection, reflecting the artist's troubled mind and the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime and the solitary figure in nature.

"A Hermit" is considered an important work in Dadd's oeuvre, showcasing his exceptional skill and unique vision despite his circumstances. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a poignant testament to the life and imagination of a talented artist whose career was dramatically altered by mental illness. As with many of Dadd's paintings, "A Hermit" is noted for its meticulous detail, vivid imagination, and the poignant story of the artist behind the canvas.
