"Portrait of Philippe Burty" is a 19th-century oil painting by the French artist Charles Émile Auguste Carolus-Duran, known for his elegant and sophisticated portraits that often captured the essence of Parisian society during the Second Empire and the early Third Republic. Philippe Burty (1830–1890) was a French art critic, collector, and a prominent advocate of the etching revival in France, known as an expert in Japanese art and a proponent of Japonisme, which influenced many European artists in the late 19th century.

The portrait is a testament to the relationship between artist and sitter, where Carolus-Duran has captured Burty in a manner that reflects his intellectual pursuits and his status within the art world. The painting is characterized by Carolus-Duran's deft handling of paint and his ability to render textures and fabrics with realism, a hallmark of his portraiture style. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the psychological presence of his subject, contribute to the portrait's compelling presence.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, it is likely to have been produced during the height of Carolus-Duran's career, when he was a sought-after portraitist among the cultural elite. The painting would have been commissioned or created to honor Burty's contributions to the arts, particularly his role in promoting the appreciation of Japanese art and culture in France.

As a work of art, "Portrait of Philippe Burty" not only serves as a visual record of an influential figure in the art world of the time but also exemplifies the artistic style and cultural interests of the period. The painting would be of interest to scholars studying Carolus-Duran's oeuvre, the history of portraiture, and the cross-cultural exchanges between Europe and Japan during the late 19th century.

The "Portrait of Philippe Burty" by Carolus-Duran is an important work within the artist's body of portraits and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of 19th-century France. Its current location, provenance, and exhibition history would provide further context to the painting's significance and the legacy of both the artist and the sitter.
