"Portrait of Sir Julian Huxley" is a painting by British artist Mark Gertler (1891–1939), known for his distinctive modernist style and contribution to early 20th-century British art. The portrait, which dates from a period in Gertler's career when he was recognized for his bold use of color and form, depicts Sir Julian Huxley (1887–1975), an eminent biologist, evolutionist, and the first Director-General of UNESCO.

The painting is notable for its representation of Huxley, capturing both his physical likeness and his intellectual presence. Gertler's approach to the portrait may reflect the influence of Post-Impressionism and the avant-garde movements of the time, which often emphasized the psychological over the physical, and the abstract over the literal. The work is characterized by a strong composition, with Huxley's figure dominating the canvas, and a palette that suggests the artist's interest in expressing the sitter's personality and status through color and brushwork.

As a subject, Huxley was a significant figure in the scientific community, known for his contributions to evolutionary synthesis and for being a prominent advocate of natural selection. His portrait by Gertler thus represents an intersection of the arts and sciences, a meeting of two minds from different, but overlapping, spheres of the British intellectual landscape.

The "Portrait of Sir Julian Huxley" is not only a testament to Gertler's artistic skill but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the cultural and intellectual milieu of the early 20th century. It is a work that would be of interest to scholars of art history and those studying the cultural history of the period, as well as to admirers of Gertler's oeuvre and enthusiasts of portraiture as a genre.

While the painting is an important piece within Gertler's body of work, it also contributes to the broader narrative of British modernism, in which artists sought new ways of seeing and representing their subjects amidst the rapid changes of the modern world. The "Portrait of Sir Julian Huxley" remains an enduring example of Gertler's contribution to this movement and his ability to capture the essence of a prominent figure through the medium of paint.
