"Paul Durand-Ruel" is an oil on canvas portrait by the renowned French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, completed in 1910. The painting depicts Paul Durand-Ruel (1831–1922), the influential French art dealer who played a pivotal role in the rise and recognition of the Impressionist artists. Durand-Ruel's unwavering support, through both financial means and exhibitions, was instrumental in establishing the careers of painters such as Renoir, Claude Monet, and Edgar Degas, among others.

The portrait is a testament to the close relationship between the artist and the art dealer, showcasing Renoir's mature style characterized by vibrant brushwork and a rich palette. Renoir's depiction of Durand-Ruel is both personal and respectful, capturing the art dealer's likeness with warmth and psychological insight. The sitter is portrayed with a gentle expression, suggesting his amiable personality and his understanding of the arts, which made him a key figure in the promotion of Impressionist artwork during a time when it faced critical resistance.

"Paul Durand-Ruel" is not only a significant work of art due to its aesthetic qualities but also because it represents the symbiotic relationship between artists and art dealers. The painting serves as a historical document, highlighting the importance of patronage and the art market in the development and success of artistic movements. It is held in high regard within the oeuvre of Renoir and is considered an important piece in the study of Impressionism and its legacy.

The portrait is part of a collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, a museum that houses many of the masterpieces of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, further emphasizing the enduring connection between Durand-Ruel and the artists he championed. Through this work, Renoir not only immortalized his friend and patron but also provided a window into the world of art commerce at the turn of the 20th century.
