"Portrait of Denis Diderot (1713–1784)" is a lithographic work by François Séraphin Delpech, a French lithographer known for his portraits of prominent figures of his time. The portrait depicts Denis Diderot, a prominent French philosopher, art critic, and writer, who was a key figure of the Enlightenment in France. Diderot is best known for serving as the chief editor of the "Encyclopédie," a monumental compendium of knowledge that aimed to secularize learning and was highly influential in the spread of Enlightenment ideas.

Delpech's lithograph captures Diderot in a pose that reflects his intellectual stature, typically dressed in the attire of the period. The portrait is notable for its fine detail and the expressive quality that Delpech imparts to Diderot's features, conveying a sense of the philosopher's character and intellect. The work is an example of the lithographic technique, which was relatively new at the time and allowed for the mass production of images, thus contributing to the dissemination of the likenesses of important cultural figures.

François Séraphin Delpech (1778–1825) was an artist who specialized in lithography, a printing process that was invented in the late 18th century and became popular in the early 19th century for reproducing images. Delpech's portraits were highly regarded for their accuracy and the way they captured the personalities of his subjects.

The "Portrait of Denis Diderot" by Delpech is significant not only as a representation of an important intellectual figure of the 18th century but also as an artifact of the early 19th-century fascination with the Enlightenment and its protagonists. It serves as a historical document that reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of the time, as well as the technological advancements in the field of printmaking. The portrait is of interest to scholars of French art, the history of lithography, and the Enlightenment period.
