The "Portrait of Comte Maurice de Saxe" is a pastel artwork by the French artist Maurice Quentin de La Tour, a master of pastel painting in the 18th century. Created in 1748, this portrait depicts Maurice de Saxe (1696–1750), a celebrated military leader and Marshal General of France, known for his victories in the War of the Austrian Succession. Maurice de Saxe was the illegitimate son of Augustus II the Strong, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, and Countess Maria Aurora von Königsmarck.

Maurice Quentin de La Tour's portrait captures the count in a moment of repose, reflecting both his military prowess and the cultural refinement of the Enlightenment era. The artist's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of skin tones is evident in this work, showcasing his ability to create lifelike and expressive portraits using the pastel medium. The count's confident gaze and the naturalistic portrayal of his features are characteristic of La Tour's style, which favored realism and psychological insight over the more formal and idealized portraiture of some of his contemporaries.

This particular portrait is noted for its historical significance, as it immortalizes a prominent figure of 18th-century European history and provides insight into the artistic conventions and societal values of the time. The artwork is also an example of La Tour's contribution to the development of pastel painting, a medium that gained considerable popularity in France during the Rococo period.

The "Portrait of Comte Maurice de Saxe" is held in the collections of the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva, Switzerland.
