"Portrait Presumé de Madame Émile Gaillard" is a 19th-century oil painting by French artist Gustave Ricard (1823–1873), known for his portraiture that captures the essence of his subjects with a blend of realism and idealism. The painting is believed to depict Madame Émile Gaillard, the wife of a Parisian banker and art collector, whose identity, however, is not definitively established. The work is characteristic of Ricard's style, which was influenced by the 17th-century Spanish and Dutch masters, as well as by his teacher, Paul Delaroche.

The portrait is notable for its refined elegance and the psychological depth it conveys. Ricard's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textural details of fabrics and accessories, contribute to the lifelike presence of the sitter. The subject is typically portrayed with a direct gaze and a composed demeanor, which was a hallmark of Ricard's approach to capturing the character and social standing of his sitters.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not documented, it is likely from the mid-19th century, a period when Ricard was actively producing portraits for the French elite. The painting's provenance and current location are not widely publicized, which may contribute to the limited scholarship on this specific work.

As a representative example of Gustave Ricard's portraiture, "Portrait Presumé de Madame Émile Gaillard" reflects the artist's contribution to the French art scene during the Second Empire and the lasting influence of his portraits, which continue to be appreciated for their technical mastery and insightful representation of the sitters' personalities.
