"Brustbild eines rauchenden Mannes" (English: "Bust of a Smoking Man") is an 18th-century oil painting by the Prussian sculptor and artist Johann Gottlieb Glume. Created in 1769, the artwork is a notable example of portraiture from the period, showcasing Glume's skill in capturing the character and mood of his subject through the medium of paint, a departure from his more recognized work in sculpture.

The painting depicts a man in mid-smoke, with the act of smoking itself and the smoke rendered with particular attention to detail, suggesting a moment of leisure or contemplation. The subject's attire and the style of the painting provide insight into the fashion and artistic conventions of the time. "Brustbild eines rauchenden Mannes" is characterized by its realistic representation, the play of light and shadow, and the lifelike expression of the smoker, which all serve to bring the subject to life.

Johann Gottlieb Glume (1711–1775) was active in Berlin and known for his work as a court sculptor. While his sculptures are well-documented, his paintings are less so, making "Brustbild eines rauchenden Mannes" a significant piece within his oeuvre for its demonstration of his versatility as an artist.

The painting is part of the collection of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, where it remains an important work for study by art historians and enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the cultural and artistic milieu of 18th-century Prussia. Its presence in the museum's collection also contributes to the understanding of the broader scope of artistic production during the era, beyond the more commonly recognized works of the Rococo and Enlightenment periods.
