"Portrait of David Garrick as Kitely" is a notable 18th-century oil painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, one of the most prominent English painters of the period. Created in 1767, the artwork captures the renowned actor David Garrick in character as Kitely, the obsessively jealous merchant from Ben Jonson's comedy "Every Man in His Humour." This portrait is a testament to the close professional relationship between Reynolds and Garrick, as well as the artist's interest in the theatrical world and his skill in character portrayal.

In this half-length portrait, Reynolds depicts Garrick with a palpable intensity that reflects Kitely's troubled state of mind, embodying the character's jealousy and emotional turmoil. The painting is a fine example of Reynolds's mastery of capturing psychological depth and the nuances of human expression, which he achieved through his adept use of lighting, color, and brushwork. The portrait not only immortalizes Garrick's acclaimed performance but also serves as an important historical record of 18th-century theatrical practice and the art of acting.

The painting is significant within Reynolds's oeuvre as it illustrates the artist's contribution to the development of the Grand Manner style in British portraiture, which emphasized idealization and the portrayal of subjects with noble, classical virtues. "Portrait of David Garrick as Kitely" is celebrated for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that bridges the worlds of fine art and the performing arts during the Georgian era. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and theater scholars alike, and it continues to be studied for its representation of one of the era's most influential actors and the interpretive power of Reynolds's portraiture.
