"Portrait of Jacques Cazotte" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste Perronneau, created between 1760 and 1764. The artwork is a representation of Jacques Cazotte, a French writer known for his fantastical works and involvement in the pre-revolutionary literary circles. Perronneau, a contemporary of the more famous pastelist Maurice Quentin de La Tour, was renowned for his skillful portraiture, capturing the character and essence of his subjects with a particular focus on the texture and play of light.

The portrait depicts Cazotte in a half-length pose, dressed in the attire befitting a man of his intellectual stature during the period. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, imbues the painting with a sense of depth and volume, while also drawing attention to Cazotte's contemplative expression. Perronneau's brushwork is meticulous, with fine attention to the details of Cazotte's face, hair, and clothing, suggesting not only the physical likeness but also hinting at the personality and intellect of the sitter.

As a work of art, "Portrait of Jacques Cazotte" is significant for its representation of an important literary figure of the 18th century and as an example of Perronneau's portraiture, which often rivaled that of his contemporaries in its psychological insight and technical proficiency. The painting is also a valuable cultural artifact, reflecting the aesthetic values and social conditions of the time in which it was created.

The portrait is held in a collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of French portraiture and the broader context of European art history. Its provenance, critical reception, and any restoration history provide further insight into the painting's journey from the artist's studio to the present day.
