"Portrait of George Dempsey" is an oil painting by the American Impressionist painter Edmund Charles Tarbell (1862–1938). Created in 1903, this work exemplifies Tarbell's skill in portraiture, a genre in which he excelled alongside his better-known domestic interior scenes. The painting depicts George Dempsey, a figure whose specific identity remains less documented in historical records, which is not uncommon for portrait subjects from this era outside of prominent public figures.

Tarbell, a leading member of the Boston School of painting, was renowned for his use of light and attention to detail, which are evident in this portrait. His style combined the traditional academic painting techniques he learned in Paris at the Académie Julian with the looser brushwork and lighter palette of the French Impressionists, whose work he admired.

In "Portrait of George Dempsey," Tarbell captures the sitter with a sense of individual personality and a dignified presence. The painting is characterized by a harmonious color scheme and a deft rendering of textures, from the subject's attire to the background elements. The sitter's pose and expression suggest a moment of contemplation, a hallmark of Tarbell's ability to convey the inner life of his subjects.

As with many of Tarbell's portraits, this work likely appealed to the genteel sensibilities of his patrons, who sought to document their personal and familial identities through the commissioning of such artworks. "Portrait of George Dempsey" remains a testament to Tarbell's mastery of portraiture and contributes to the understanding of American Impressionism and its adaptation of European techniques to distinctly American subjects.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Tarbell that helped define American Impressionism at the turn of the 20th century. While it may not be as widely recognized as some of his other works, "Portrait of George Dempsey" is an important piece within Tarbell's oeuvre, offering insight into his artistic approach and the cultural milieu of the period.
