"Portrait of Antonin Proust" is an oil painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, completed in 1880. The work is a study of Antonin Proust, not to be confused with the novelist Marcel Proust, who was a lifelong friend of Manet and a significant figure in the French cultural and political scene of the late 19th century. Antonin Proust was a journalist, art critic, and later, the Minister of Fine Arts in France. He played a pivotal role in advancing the careers of several Impressionist artists, including Manet himself.

The portrait is a testament to the close relationship between the artist and the sitter, showcasing Manet's skill in capturing the character and essence of his subjects. In this work, Proust is depicted with a relaxed yet dignified demeanor, indicative of his status and his intellectual background. The painting is characterized by Manet's loose brushwork, a hallmark of his style, which allows for a vivid and dynamic representation of the sitter's presence.

Measuring 130.2 x 95.9 cm, the portrait is a significant example of Manet's portraiture and is noted for its psychological depth and the artist's use of light and shadow to sculpt Proust's features. The composition's informal setting and the direct gaze of the subject engage the viewer, creating an intimate dialogue between the sitter and the audience.

"Portrait of Antonin Proust" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the understanding of Manet's work and the cultural milieu of 19th-century France. The painting is often discussed in the context of Manet's broader oeuvre, illustrating the transition between Realism and Impressionism and highlighting the artist's impact on the development of modern art.
