"Portrait of a Gentleman Skating" is a notable work by the American painter Gilbert Stuart, created circa 1782. This oil on canvas painting is a fine example of Stuart's early work, showcasing his skill in portraiture before he gained widespread fame for his portraits of George Washington. The painting depicts an unidentified gentleman, elegantly dressed in late 18th-century attire, engaged in the leisure activity of ice skating. The subject is captured in a moment of graceful motion against a wintry landscape, which was a relatively uncommon theme in American portraiture at the time.

Gilbert Stuart (1755–1828) is widely considered one of America's foremost portraitists. His ability to capture the character and personality of his sitters was unmatched, and his portraits were highly sought after by the social elite of his time. "Portrait of a Gentleman Skating" is particularly significant as it combines the traditional genre of portraiture with a dynamic representation of movement and the inclusion of a landscape, elements that were not typical of Stuart's later works.

The painting is also an important cultural artifact, reflecting the social practices and fashions of the American colonial period. The identity of the gentleman in the painting remains a mystery, which adds an element of intrigue to the work. The portrait's composition, with the subject's pose and the use of light, demonstrates Stuart's mastery of his medium and his ability to convey a sense of life and immediacy.

"Portrait of a Gentleman Skating" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Gilbert Stuart's early artistic development and the broader context of American art history. The work is a testament to Stuart's talent in its blend of portraiture and genre painting, capturing a moment of genteel recreation in the young nation's history.
