"Portrait of George W. Vanderbilt" is an oil painting by the American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1897-98. This artwork is a notable example of Whistler's portraiture in which he captures the likeness and personality of his sitter, George Washington Vanderbilt II, a prominent art patron and member of the influential Vanderbilt family. The portrait is executed in Whistler's distinctive tonalist style, characterized by a limited color palette and a harmonious arrangement of tones, reflecting the influence of both the Aesthetic Movement and Japanese printmaking, which Whistler greatly admired.

The painting showcases Vanderbilt in a refined, contemplative pose, indicative of his status as an intellectual and a collector. Whistler's use of soft, diffused lighting and a nuanced approach to color contributes to the overall impression of elegance and sophistication. The portrait is also significant for its historical context, as it was commissioned during a period when Vanderbilt was constructing the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, which would become one of the most prominent examples of Gilded Age architecture in the United States and house his extensive art collection.

"Portrait of George W. Vanderbilt" is part of the collection of the Biltmore Estate and remains a testament to the relationship between artist and patron, as well as to the cultural ambitions of the American elite at the turn of the 20th century. The work is often studied for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Whistler's mature portrait work, contributing to the understanding of his artistic legacy and the cultural milieu of the late 19th century.
