"John Adams (1800–15)" is a portrait of the second President of the United States, John Adams, painted by the renowned American artist Gilbert Stuart. This work is one of several portraits of Adams that Stuart painted, and it is particularly notable for capturing the President later in his life, after his presidency, which lasted from 1797 to 1801. The portrait is often dated between 1800 and 1815, indicating that Stuart may have worked on it over an extended period or that the exact date of its completion is uncertain.

Gilbert Stuart is widely considered one of America's foremost portraitists, and his depictions of early American leaders have played a significant role in shaping the visual iconography of the nation's founding figures. His portraits are characterized by their nuanced rendering of the subject's character and their skillful use of light and shadow.

In the "John Adams (1800–15)" portrait, Stuart presents Adams with a directness and an unembellished honesty that reflects the sitter's reputation for integrity and intellectual rigor. Adams is typically shown in late middle age, with signs of the weariness that might accompany a life dedicated to public service and the political upheavals of the early republic. The portrait's composition, palette, and brushwork exemplify Stuart's mastery of the genre and contribute to the dignified representation of the former President.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Stuart that includes his famous portraits of George Washington, including the iconic unfinished "Athenaeum Portrait" that is the source of the image of Washington on the United States one-dollar bill. Stuart's portraits of John Adams are held in various collections, including those of the National Gallery of Art and the Boston Athenæum.

As a historical artifact, "John Adams (1800–15)" offers insight into the personal likeness and public persona of one of the key figures in American history. It also serves as an example of the high level of artistic achievement in the United States during the Federalist period and contributes to the legacy of Gilbert Stuart as a pivotal figure in American art history.
