"Portrait of Frederick Richards Leyland" is an oil painting by the American artist James McNeill Whistler, completed in 1870. The painting depicts Frederick Richards Leyland, a prominent English shipowner and art patron, who was a significant figure in the art world during the late 19th century. Whistler and Leyland shared a professional relationship, with Leyland being one of Whistler's most important patrons.

In the portrait, Leyland is presented in a sophisticated and elegant manner, reflecting his status and taste. Whistler's style is evident in the subtle use of color and the attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of Leyland's attire and expression. The painting is noted for its harmonious composition and the way it captures the personality and demeanor of the sitter.

Whistler's approach to portraiture often involved a focus on the aesthetic arrangement of color and form, rather than a strict adherence to realism. This is evident in the "Portrait of Frederick Richards Leyland," where the artist's signature style is apparent in the delicate brushwork and the muted palette.

The relationship between Whistler and Leyland was not without its challenges. Despite their initial camaraderie, tensions arose, particularly during the creation of the "Peacock Room," a famous interior design project commissioned by Leyland and executed by Whistler. These tensions eventually led to a falling out between the two men.

The portrait remains an important example of Whistler's work and is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. It is housed in a private collection, making it less accessible to the public, but it continues to be studied and appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts for its artistic and historical significance.
