"Portrait of the Sar Joséphin Péladan" is a notable work by the French Symbolist painter Alexandre Séon (1855–1917), created in 1891. The painting is a representation of Joséphin Péladan (1858–1918), a French novelist and Martinist, known for his eccentric personality and for founding the Salon de la Rose + Croix, an artistic movement and series of exhibitions that aimed to promote Symbolist art and its mystical and idealistic tendencies.

The portrait is emblematic of the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the idea that behind the visible world lies a more profound spiritual reality. Séon, who was a student of the Symbolist painter Puvis de Chavannes, captures Péladan in a manner that reflects his esoteric and self-styled mage persona. Péladan, who often referred to himself as 'Sâr' – a title he claimed to mean 'spiritual leader' in Assyrian – is depicted in a dignified pose, wearing robes that suggest his interest in mysticism and the occult.

Séon's work is characterized by a refined use of color and a focus on idealized beauty, both of which are evident in this portrait. The painting not only captures the likeness of Péladan but also embodies the Symbolist movement's preoccupation with the otherworldly and the transcendental. The portrait is often noted for its meticulous detail and the solemn atmosphere it evokes, which is typical of Séon's artistic style.

"Portrait of the Sar Joséphin Péladan" is considered an important piece in the oeuvre of Alexandre Séon and a significant cultural artifact from the period of Symbolism. It provides insight into the artistic and philosophical circles of late 19th-century France, where artists and thinkers like Péladan and Séon sought to challenge the materialism of their age through art that explored mystical and metaphysical themes. The painting is a testament to the complex interplay between art, literature, and spirituality that defined the Symbolist movement.
