"Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) German Composer" is an oil painting by Elias Gottlob Haussmann, a German painter known for his portraits. The painting, created in 1746, is one of the most recognized and iconic portraits of Johann Sebastian Bach, a Baroque composer who is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music. Haussmann's portrait depicts Bach in formal attire, with a confident gaze that reflects his stature as a respected musician of his time.

The painting is particularly significant because it is one of the few authenticated likenesses of Bach. It was created during the composer's tenure as Thomaskantor—director of music at the Thomasschule and the Thomaskirche—in Leipzig, a position he held from 1723 until his death in 1750. The portrait shows Bach holding a sheet of music, which contains a short canon based on the first eight notes of the bass line of the aria from his cantata "Ich habe genug" (BWV 82). This detail not only adds a personal touch to the work but also serves as a testament to Bach's mastery of musical composition.

Elias Gottlob Haussmann, the artist, was a court painter in Leipzig and is known to have painted two portraits of Bach; the second one, a copy with slight variations, was completed in 1748. The 1746 portrait is now housed in the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) in Leipzig, Germany, and remains an invaluable resource for scholars and admirers of Bach's life and work. The authenticity of the painting was confirmed through various means, including the composer's son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, who inherited the portrait and later described it in a letter.

This portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach by Elias Gottlob Haussmann is not only a work of art but also a historical document that provides insight into the appearance and cultural context of one of the most influential composers of the Baroque era. It continues to be featured in scholarly works and is often used as a visual reference in media related to Bach and his music.
