"Henry Alexander Wise" is an oil on canvas portrait by the American artist Sarah Miriam Peale, painted in 1829. The portrait depicts Henry Alexander Wise (1806–1876), a prominent American politician who served as the Governor of Virginia from 1856 to 1860 and was a U.S. Congressman from 1833 to 1844. Wise was a notable figure in the antebellum South, and his portrait by Peale is significant as it captures a leading political figure of the time by one of the era's foremost female portrait painters.

Sarah Miriam Peale (1800–1885) was a member of the famous Peale family of artists and one of the first professional female painters in the United States. Her work is known for its fine detail, realism, and sensitive portrayal of subjects. The portrait of Wise is an example of her skill in capturing the likeness and character of her sitters. It is a work that reflects the artistic style and cultural context of the United States in the early 19th century.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Peale that includes portraits of many significant figures of her time. As a woman artist working in a male-dominated field, Peale's accomplishments in portraiture were groundbreaking. Her depiction of Wise contributes to our understanding of the visual culture and political landscape of the period leading up to the American Civil War.

The "Henry Alexander Wise" portrait is not only a testament to Peale's artistic talent but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the representation of political leaders in American art. The painting is an important piece within the oeuvre of Sarah Miriam Peale and offers a window into the intersection of art, gender, and politics in 19th-century America.
