"Portrait of Gabriel Huquier" is a notable 1747 pastel artwork by the French painter Jean-Baptiste Perronneau, an artist renowned for his mastery in portraiture and particularly in the medium of pastel. This work depicts Gabriel Huquier (1695–1772), a prominent French engraver, printmaker, and art collector of the 18th century, known for his association with the Rococo style and for his collaboration with other esteemed artists of his time, such as François Boucher.

The portrait is exemplary of Perronneau's skill in capturing the character and social standing of his sitters. In this piece, Huquier is portrayed with a direct gaze and a dignified poise, reflecting his status and intellectual presence. The use of pastel allows for soft yet vivid coloration and contributes to the lifelike quality of the work, a hallmark of Perronneau's portraiture. The artist's technique showcases his ability to render textures and fabrics, as well as the nuanced interplay of light and shadow, which gives the subject a three-dimensional presence.

As a work of art, "Portrait of Gabriel Huquier" holds significance not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insight into the cultural and social milieu of 18th-century France. The portrait is a testament to the relationship between artist and patron in the period and serves as a document of the era's aesthetic preferences and the role of engravers in the dissemination of artistic styles.
