"Portrait of H. J. van Wisselingh" is a painting by the renowned French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1861. This work is a striking example of Courbet's realist style, which was a significant departure from the romantic and neoclassical styles that dominated the art scene during the mid-19th century. The portrait depicts Hendrik Jan van Wisselingh, a Dutch art dealer known for his connections with various artists of the time, including Courbet himself.

The painting is characterized by Courbet's bold brushwork and his use of a somber, earthy palette, which was typical of his approach to portraiture. Courbet's ability to capture the psychological depth and the individual character of his sitters is evident in this work. The subject, van Wisselingh, is presented with a direct gaze and a dignified posture, reflecting his status and personality. The background of the painting is subdued, allowing the viewer to focus on the figure and his expression.

"Portrait of H. J. van Wisselingh" is not only a testament to Courbet's skill as a portraitist but also an important document of the artist's social network and the art market of the period. As with many of Courbet's portraits, this painting provides insight into the artist's relationships with patrons and figures within the art world, which were crucial for his career.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Courbet that helped to define the Realist movement. His commitment to depicting subjects truthfully, without idealization, and his focus on everyday life were revolutionary at the time and influenced generations of artists to come. The "Portrait of H. J. van Wisselingh" remains a significant piece within Courbet's oeuvre, illustrating the artist's mastery of form, color, and human expression.
