"Portrait of Alfred Bruyas" is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Alexandre Cabanel, completed in 1852. The work is a significant example of 19th-century portraiture and is notable for its depiction of the art collector and patron Alfred Bruyas (1821–1877). Cabanel, a prominent figure in the academic art world of his time, was known for his refined and idealized approach to painting, which is evident in this portrait.

The painting showcases Bruyas in a moment of contemplative repose, reflecting the intellectual and cultural pursuits of the sitter. Bruyas was a key figure in the art scene of Montpellier and became an influential patron of the arts, supporting many artists of the era, including Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet. His relationship with Cabanel was not just that of a patron but also of a personal friend, which adds depth to the portrayal.

Measuring 129 cm by 97 cm, the portrait is characterized by its meticulous detail, harmonious color palette, and the serene expression of Bruyas, which conveys a sense of the sitter's character and taste. Cabanel's skillful rendering of textures, from the softness of Bruyas's hair to the intricate fabrics of his clothing, demonstrates the artist's mastery of his medium.

The "Portrait of Alfred Bruyas" is housed in the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France, a museum to which Bruyas bequeathed much of his art collection. The painting holds a place of importance in the museum's collection and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Bruyas's patronage and his contribution to the arts. The work is often studied for its artistic merits as well as its historical significance in the context of French art history and the relationship between artists and their patrons during the 19th century.
