"The Actor JB Brizard 1721-91 in the Role of King Lear" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Adelaide Labille-Guiard, a prominent female painter of the time known for her portraiture. The painting captures the actor Jean-Baptiste Brizard, a renowned figure in French theatre, in his portrayal of King Lear, the tragic hero of William Shakespeare's play of the same name. Labille-Guiard, who was admitted to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1783, was one of the few women of her era to achieve such recognition in the arts. Her work often depicted members of the French nobility and cultural elite, and this painting is no exception, showcasing her skill in capturing the emotional intensity and dramatic expression of her subjects.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context. It represents the intersection of French art and theatre during a period of rich cultural activity prior to the French Revolution. The depiction of Brizard in the role of King Lear is a testament to the actor's skill and reputation, as well as to the popularity of Shakespeare's works in France during the 18th century. Labille-Guiard's painting is an example of her mastery of portraiture and her ability to convey the complexities of human expression, contributing to her legacy as one of the leading female artists of her time.

The painting is also notable for its portrayal of an actor in character, a subject that was relatively uncommon at the time, providing insight into the theatrical practices and character interpretations of the period. "The Actor JB Brizard 1721-91 in the Role of King Lear" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Adelaide Labille-Guiard and serves as a valuable piece of historical evidence of 18th-century French art and theatre.
