"Portrait of Alexander Pope (1688–1744)" is an oil on canvas painting by the Irish artist Charles Jervas, created in the early 18th century. The portrait depicts Alexander Pope, one of the foremost English poets of the Augustan period, known for his satirical verse and translation of Homer. Jervas, who was a painter in the court of King George I, was also known for his portraits of notable figures of his time.

The painting presents Pope in a half-length pose, dressed in the fashion of the period, and captures the intellectual demeanor of the poet. Pope's delicate health and physical disabilities, which were a result of Pott disease, are subtly alluded to in the portrait through his posture and the careful rendering of his facial features. The portrait is one of the most recognized images of Pope and has been widely reproduced in literature about the poet.

Charles Jervas, who studied under Sir Godfrey Kneller, was a respected portraitist and his works were praised for their elegance and clarity. His portrait of Alexander Pope is considered an important work in Jervas's oeuvre as it not only showcases his artistic skill but also provides a valuable historical record of one of the leading literary figures of the 18th century.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical importance. It offers insight into the personal appearance and social status of Alexander Pope, reflecting the close relationship between the artist and the sitter. Pope himself was known to be critical of his own representations in art, but the collaboration with Jervas resulted in a portrait that has been deemed a sensitive and insightful depiction of the poet.

"Portrait of Alexander Pope (1688–1744)" by Charles Jervas is held in various collections and has been displayed in several art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of the cultural milieu of the early 18th century and the visual representation of literary figures of the era.
