The "Portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach" by Elias Gottlob Haussmann is one of the most iconic and widely recognized portraits of the German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Painted in 1746, during Bach's time as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, this oil-on-canvas painting is one of the only two authenticated portraits of the composer made during his lifetime, the other being an earlier version by the same artist from 1748. Haussmann, a court painter in Leipzig, created this work when Bach was 61 years old, capturing the composer in formal attire with a stern yet contemplative expression.

The portrait is notable for its attention to detail and the objects included, which hold symbolic significance. Bach is depicted holding a sheet of music, which is identified as the "Canon triplex a 6 Voc." from the "Musical Offering" (BWV 1079), a collection of keyboard canons and fugues and other pieces of music that Bach presented to Frederick the Great, the King of Prussia, in 1747. This inclusion not only signifies Bach's mastery of the complex musical form of the canon but also serves as a testament to his intellectual prowess and his status as a composer.

Measuring 62 cm by 48 cm, the portrait is characterized by its baroque style, with a strong contrast between the light illuminating Bach's face and the dark background. The painting is also significant for its historical value, providing scholars and music enthusiasts with a visual reference for one of the most influential composers in Western music history.

The "Portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach" by Haussmann has been reproduced countless times and remains an important cultural artifact. The original painting is housed in the Bach Archive in Leipzig, Germany, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study for its artistic and historical importance.
