"The Tailor" (Italian: "Il sarto") is a genre painting by the Venetian artist Pietro Longhi, created between 1742 and 1743. This work is one of Longhi's many depictions of contemporary Venetian life, showcasing his keen interest in the social customs and daily activities of his time. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures 61 cm by 50.5 cm. It is currently housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy, which boasts a significant collection of Venetian paintings.

In "The Tailor," Longhi presents a scene of domestic industry, capturing a tailor at work in his shop. The composition is intimate, with the tailor seated and absorbed in his task of sewing. He is surrounded by the tools of his trade, including fabrics, threads, and scissors, which are rendered with meticulous attention to detail. The scene is emblematic of Longhi's style, which often includes a narrative element, inviting viewers to ponder the story behind the image.

The painting is notable for its realistic portrayal of the working-class individual, a subject that was relatively uncommon in the grand history paintings of the time. Longhi's focus on the everyday lives of ordinary people marked a departure from the more traditional subjects of Venetian painting, such as religious, mythological, and historical scenes. "The Tailor" exemplifies Longhi's contribution to the genre of genre painting, where the depiction of the commonplace becomes a subject worthy of artistic representation.

"The Tailor" is admired for its fine detail, the play of light and shadow, and the textural qualities that bring the tailor's environment to life. Longhi's work provides a valuable glimpse into 18th-century Venetian society, offering insights into the fashion, culture, and economic conditions of the time. The painting is a testament to Longhi's skill in capturing the essence of the quotidian and his ability to transform it into art that resonates with viewers across centuries.
