''Portrait of Émile Zola'' is an oil-on-canvas painting by Édouard Manet, completed in 1868. It is a well-known work that depicts the famous French writer Émile Zola, who was an influential novelist and critic during the latter half of the 19th century. The portrait is a testament to the friendship and mutual admiration between the artist and the writer, with Zola being an early defender of Manet's work and a pivotal figure in the promotion of the then-controversial Impressionist movement.

The painting is characterized by its rich detail and the array of objects surrounding Zola, each symbolizing aspects of his personality and interests. Zola is portrayed seated at a desk, surrounded by books, a writing implement, and other personal effects that allude to his work as a writer and critic. Notably, the Japanese screen and the ornamental fan in the background reflect the Japonisme trend that was fashionable in the art circles of Paris at the time, indicating Zola's and Manet's shared interest in Japanese art.

Manet's composition is notable for its realism and the direct gaze of Zola, which engages the viewer. The portrait is also a sophisticated arrangement of colors and forms, showcasing Manet's skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his sitter's character. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, having been bequeathed to the French State by Zola's widow in 1904.

''Portrait of Émile Zola'' is not only a significant work in Manet's oeuvre but also an important historical document that captures the intellectual spirit of the time and the camaraderie among artists and writers in 19th-century France. It remains a subject of study for art historians and a celebrated piece for its contribution to the development of modern art.
