"Portrait of Mark Twain" is an oil painting by the American artist James Carroll Beckwith (1852–1917). Created in 1890, this work captures the iconic American writer Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, during the latter years of his life. Beckwith, a notable portraitist of his time, was known for his ability to capture the essence and character of his subjects, and this portrait is no exception. It presents Twain in a contemplative pose, reflecting the intellectual and satirical prowess for which he was celebrated.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural importance, as Mark Twain is considered one of the greatest American authors, whose works such as "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" have had a profound impact on American literature and society. Beckwith's portrait contributes to the visual legacy of Twain, offering insight into the author's personality and how he was viewed by his contemporaries.

The "Portrait of Mark Twain" by James Carroll Beckwith is held in a collection at the Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford, Connecticut, which was the author's home from 1874 to 1891. The museum preserves the author's legacy and provides a context for understanding both his life and work, with the portrait serving as a key artifact within the museum's collection.

As a work of art, Beckwith's portrait is an example of the realistic style of portraiture that was prevalent in the late 19th century. The artist's attention to detail, use of lighting, and the thoughtful composition all contribute to the painting's ability to convey Twain's personality and stature. The portrait remains an important piece for both art historians and literary scholars interested in the visual representation of prominent literary figures of the period.
