"David Garrick as Sir John Brute in Vanbrugh's The Provok'd Wife" is an oil painting by the German neoclassical painter Johann Zoffany, completed in the 1760s. The artwork captures the renowned English actor David Garrick in the role of Sir John Brute from Sir John Vanbrugh's Restoration comedy, "The Provoked Wife." Zoffany, known for his theatrical and society portraits, vividly depicts Garrick's dramatic transformation into the brutish, comically dissolute character, showcasing the actor's versatility and the expressive potential of 18th-century theatre.

The painting serves as both a character study and a celebration of Garrick's talent, who was one of the most influential figures in British theatre during the 18th century. His portrayal of Sir John Brute was acclaimed for its realism and emotional depth, which Zoffany has immortalized on canvas. The artwork is emblematic of the era's fascination with the stage and its stars, as well as the close relationship between visual art and performance during that period.

Johann Zoffany's work is characterized by its attention to detail, capturing the textures of costume and setting, as well as the nuanced expressions of his subjects. In this painting, he conveys the raucous and often bawdy atmosphere of Restoration comedy, while also providing insight into the public persona and private artistry of David Garrick. The painting is an important document of theatrical history and a testament to the enduring legacy of both Garrick and Vanbrugh in the world of English drama.

The painting is held in various collections and has been the subject of exhibitions and scholarly analysis, often discussed in the context of Zoffany's broader oeuvre and the cultural milieu of Georgian England. It remains a significant work for students of art history, theatre history, and the intersection of performance and visual culture.
