"Portrait of Duke Ludwig X of Bavaria" is a 1531 painting by the German artist Barthel Beham. As a prominent member of the Little Masters—a group of printmakers active in the first half of the 16th century known for their small, intricate works—Beham was also a skilled painter, and his portrait of Duke Ludwig X exemplifies the Northern Renaissance's attention to detail and interest in individual personality.

The painting depicts Ludwig X, who was Duke of Bavaria from 1514 to 1545, in a three-quarter profile, a common pose in portraiture that allows for a detailed rendering of the subject's features while also suggesting a sense of depth and three-dimensionality. Ludwig X is shown wearing the luxurious garments befitting his status, with a fur-lined cloak and a hat adorned with jewels, which not only reflect his wealth but also serve as a testament to Beham's ability to capture textures and materials.

Barthel Beham's portrait is notable for its meticulous execution and the lifelike representation of the Duke. The artist's use of oil on panel, a typical medium for the time, allowed for a rich palette and a fine gradation of tones, which Beham employed to create a realistic depiction of the Duke's complexion and attire. The portrait's background is subdued, drawing the viewer's focus to the figure of Ludwig X and emphasizing his importance.

The painting is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the Bavarian court during the Renaissance. It also showcases Beham's mastery of portraiture and his contribution to the Northern Renaissance's exploration of individual identity through art. The "Portrait of Duke Ludwig X of Bavaria" remains an important work for the study of German Renaissance portraiture and the cultural history of the period.
