"Portrait of William Pitt the Younger (1759–1806)" is an oil painting by the British artist John Hoppner, R.A. (1758–1810), who was one of the leading portraitists of the Georgian era. The painting is a significant work of art that captures the likeness of William Pitt the Younger, a prominent British statesman and the youngest Prime Minister in British history, who first took office at the age of 24. Hoppner, renowned for his ability to impart grace and character to his portraits, was a contemporary of Pitt and was well-placed to create this depiction.

The portrait is executed in Hoppner's characteristic style, which often drew comparisons to the works of Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. It showcases the artist's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of flesh tones, as well as his capacity to convey the sitter's personality and social stature. In this portrait, Pitt is typically depicted in the fashion of the day, dressed in attire befitting his status, and with an expression that reflects his intellectual vigor and the seriousness of his office.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not always clear, it is believed to have been produced during the height of Pitt's career, possibly in the late 18th or early 19th century. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of Pitt's appearance but also provides insight into the artistic conventions and societal expectations of the period.

As a historical artifact, the portrait has been the subject of study for both art historians and scholars of British political history. It is often referenced in discussions of Hoppner's oeuvre and the genre of portraiture in the context of British art history. The painting is also of interest to those studying the iconography of political figures and the ways in which they were visually represented to the public during their lifetimes.

The "Portrait of William Pitt the Younger" by John Hoppner is a notable example of the portraiture of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, encapsulating the aesthetic qualities of the period as well as the cultural and historical significance of its subject.
