"Portrait of Bernhard von Reesen" is a painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, completed in 1521. This artwork is an oil painting on panel, measuring 48 cm by 37 cm. It depicts Bernhard von Reesen, who was a merchant from Danzig (modern-day Gdańsk, Poland). Dürer painted this portrait during his stay in the Netherlands, a period in which he created several portraits of notable figures in the region.

The painting is notable for its detailed depiction and the vivid portrayal of the subject's personality. Von Reesen is shown half-length, turned slightly to the left, dressed in a dark fur-trimmed coat, and holding a piece of paper with an inscription. The background is a plain, dark greenish-grey, which focuses attention on the figure himself. The inscription, written in the lower left corner of the paper, reads, "1521 Dar bin Ich 43 Jar Alt" (In 1521 I am 43 years old), which helps to date the painting and gives insight into the age of the subject at the time it was painted.

The "Portrait of Bernhard von Reesen" is celebrated for its fine brushwork and the realistic representation of textures, particularly in the rendering of the fur and the skin. The subject's gaze, directed outward towards the viewer, along with his slightly parted lips, suggests a moment of interruption, adding a sense of immediacy and intimacy to the work.

This portrait is currently housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden, Germany, where it remains an important example of Dürer's portrait art and a valuable piece of Renaissance portraiture.
