"Edwin Booth" is an 1890 oil on canvas portrait by the American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent, depicting the renowned 19th-century American actor Edwin Booth. Booth, who was a member of a famous acting family and the brother of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, was celebrated in his time as one of the greatest performers of Shakespearean drama.

The portrait, which measures approximately 58 1/2 x 40 1/2 inches (148.6 x 102.9 cm), is part of the collection at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. It showcases Sargent's skill in capturing the psychological depth and character of his sitters, a talent that made him one of the most sought-after portraitists of his day. In this work, Sargent portrays Booth in a moment of introspection, possibly alluding to the complex and often tragic roles he played on stage.

The painting is noted for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the contemplative mood it evokes, characteristics that align with the Tonalist movement, which Sargent was associated with during the period. The subdued color palette and the focused illumination on Booth's face draw the viewer's attention to his thoughtful expression, suggesting the weight of his theatrical legacy and personal tragedies.

"Edwin Booth" by John Singer Sargent is a significant work in the artist's oeuvre, as it not only captures the likeness of one of the most important figures in American theater but also exemplifies Sargent's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the inner life of his subjects. The painting is a valuable cultural artifact, reflecting the rich history of American theater and the artistic achievements of the Gilded Age.
