"James Kent (1763–1847) Engraved by Asher Brown Durand (1796–1886)" is a notable work of art by the American artist Frederick R. Spencer (1806–1875). The piece is a portrait of James Kent, a prominent jurist and legal scholar known for his influential commentaries on American law. The original artwork was created by Spencer, a portrait painter who was active in the United States during the 19th century and known for his depictions of significant American figures.

The portrait was subsequently engraved by Asher Brown Durand, a fellow American artist who gained acclaim as an engraver before turning to landscape painting as a leading figure in the Hudson River School. Durand's engraving of Spencer's portrait of James Kent would have served to disseminate the image widely, reflecting the practice of the period where engravings made artworks accessible to a broader public.

This collaboration between Spencer and Durand highlights the intersection of portraiture and printmaking in the 19th century, as well as the importance of visual representation in the legacy of American legal and intellectual history. The portrait not only captures the likeness of James Kent but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the esteem in which Kent was held by his contemporaries and the role of art in commemorating influential figures in American society.

The artwork is significant for its representation of an important legal figure, its execution by two notable American artists of the 19th century, and its contribution to the visual culture of the era. As such, it holds value for both art historical and legal historical scholarship, offering insight into the ways in which American leaders were memorialized and mythologized through the medium of portraiture.
