"Portrait of M. Antonin Proust" is an 1880 painting by the renowned French artist Édouard Manet. This portrait captures Antonin Proust, a significant figure in the French art world and a close friend of Manet. Proust was a journalist, politician, and art critic who later became the Minister of Fine Arts. The painting is notable for its intimate portrayal and the evident rapport between the artist and the sitter, reflecting their long-standing friendship and mutual respect.

Manet's approach in this portrait is characterized by his typical loose brushwork and a keen eye for capturing the essence of his subject. Proust is depicted seated, with a thoughtful expression, dressed in contemporary attire that suggests his status and personality. The background is kept relatively simple, ensuring that the focus remains on Proust's face and demeanor. This simplicity in the setting allows Manet to emphasize the character and presence of Proust, rather than distracting the viewer with elaborate details.

The portrait is also significant in the context of Manet's broader body of work. Known primarily for his contributions to the development of modern art and his role in the transition from Realism to Impressionism, Manet's portraits often reveal his skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and character. "Portrait of M. Antonin Proust" stands as a testament to Manet's ability to blend traditional portrait techniques with a modern sensibility, creating a work that is both timeless and deeply personal.

Today, "Portrait of M. Antonin Proust" is held in high regard and is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The painting continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and the insight it provides into the relationship between Manet and one of his most influential contemporaries.
