"Portrait of Jacques-Louis David" is an 1817 painting by the Belgian artist François-Joseph Navez, a former student and close associate of the renowned French painter Jacques-Louis David. The portrait is a significant work in Navez's oeuvre, as it captures his mentor at a pivotal moment in both their careers and the political climate of the time. Jacques-Louis David, a leading artist of the Neoclassical movement, is best known for his history paintings and as an active supporter of the French Revolution, including his role as a friend and supporter of Maximilien Robespierre.

The 1817 portrait is executed in oil on canvas, and it showcases Navez's skill in rendering the likeness and character of his subject. The painting depicts David during his exile in Brussels following the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, with whom David had closely aligned himself. This period of David's life was marked by a mix of continued artistic production and political disillusionment, themes that may be subtly reflected in the portrait's composition and the sitter's expression.

Navez's portrayal of David is notable for its attention to detail and the dignified representation of the older artist. The painting serves not only as a tribute from a pupil to his master but also as a historical document of the era, capturing the visage of one of the most influential figures in the history of Western art during his later years. The portrait remains an important piece for the study of Neoclassical portraiture and provides insight into the relationship between teacher and student in the context of the shifting political and artistic landscapes of early 19th-century Europe.

The "Portrait of Jacques-Louis David" by François-Joseph Navez is held in a public collection, allowing for its continued study and appreciation by scholars and the general public. Its significance is underscored by its frequent inclusion in discussions of Navez's work and in exhibitions focusing on the legacy of Jacques-Louis David and his students.
