"Cornelius Vanderbilt II" is an oil on canvas portrait by the prominent American artist John Singer Sargent, painted in 1890. The painting depicts Cornelius Vanderbilt II (1843–1899), a member of the influential Vanderbilt family, who was an American socialite and businessman. As the eldest son of William Henry Vanderbilt and the grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, he inherited a substantial part of the Vanderbilt fortune and was involved in the family's railroad and shipping empires.

Sargent, renowned for his portraits of the wealthy and the elite, captures Vanderbilt in a manner that exudes the subject's authority and affluence. The portrait is characterized by Sargent's virtuosic brushwork and keen ability to render the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of the sitter's expression. Vanderbilt is portrayed in a three-quarter length pose, dressed in a formal suit that reflects his social status and the fashion of the period.

The painting is notable for its representation of the Gilded Age, a term often used to describe the late 19th century in the United States, a time marked by rapid economic growth, industrialization, and the opulence of the upper class. Sargent's portrait of Vanderbilt II is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of an era and the individuals who shaped it.

This work is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it is displayed in the American Wing. The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the life and times of one of America's most prominent families and the society in which they lived.
