"Portrait of Henri Rouart (1833-1912)" is an oil painting created in 1871 by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is renowned for his contributions to Impressionism, though he preferred to be called a realist. The subject of the portrait, Henri Rouart, was an engineer, industrialist, and a close friend of Degas. He was also an avid art collector and amateur painter, which established a bond between him and Degas, as well as other artists of the time.

The painting is a testament to Degas's skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Unlike many of Degas's more famous works that focus on scenes of Parisian life, ballet dancers, and the female form, this portrait is a more personal depiction, reflecting the private relationship between artist and sitter. The portrait is characterized by its realistic representation and the use of lighting to highlight Rouart's features, demonstrating Degas's masterful handling of oil paint and his departure from the traditional grandeur of historical portraiture.

The artwork measures 100.3 x 81.3 cm and is part of a series of portraits Degas painted of his friends and family members. It showcases Degas's interest in the psychological aspect of portraiture, capturing not just the physical likeness but also the character and mood of Henri Rouart. The painting's composition, with Rouart posed in a domestic setting, reflects the intimacy of their friendship and the relaxed atmosphere in which it was created.

"Portrait of Henri Rouart (1833-1912)" is a significant work within Degas's oeuvre, as it provides insight into the artist's social circle and the intellectual milieu of Paris in the late 19th century. It also exemplifies the shift in portraiture during the Impressionist era, where artists moved away from formal commissions to more personal and candid representations. The painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value, contributing to the understanding of Degas's work and the broader context of Impressionist portraiture.
