Portraits by Louis Anquetin refers to the body of work created by the French painter Louis Anquetin (1861–1932), who was a notable figure in the Parisian avant-garde art scene at the end of the 19th century. Anquetin was known for his innovative use of color and his development of a style that diverged from Impressionism, which dominated the period. His portraits are particularly significant for their role in the evolution of Post-Impressionism and the prelude to the Symbolist movement in art.

Anquetin's approach to portraiture was characterized by bold outlines and the use of flat areas of color, which was influenced by the cloisonnism technique employed by his contemporaries, Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin. This method was inspired by medieval enameling processes and Japanese ukiyo-e prints, which were popular among avant-garde artists of the time. Anquetin's portraits often depicted figures from the bohemian circles of Montmartre, including artists, writers, and actors, capturing the vibrant cultural milieu of late 19th-century Paris.

Among his notable portrait works is the painting "Woman at the Champs-Élysées by Night," which exemplifies Anquetin's style during his most innovative period. The portrait features a woman in a striking hat, rendered with a strong outline and a limited but expressive color palette, highlighting Anquetin's departure from naturalistic representation towards a more stylized and abstracted form.

Anquetin's contribution to the art of portraiture is also marked by his experimentation with lighting effects and the psychological depth he sought to convey in his depictions of individuals. His portraits are not just representations of physical appearances but are imbued with a sense of the subject's inner life and character.

Despite his early association with prominent artists like Vincent van Gogh and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Anquetin's work was somewhat overshadowed by his peers during his lifetime. However, his portraits remain an important part of the narrative of Post-Impressionist art, offering insight into the stylistic transitions and explorations that characterized the period. Today, Anquetin's portraits are studied for their contribution to the development of modern art and are held in various public and private collections worldwide.
