"Portrait of François Langlois as a Savoyard" is a notable work by the Flemish Baroque artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, who was a leading court painter in England under King Charles I. The painting, created circa 1634-1635, depicts François Langlois, also known as Ciartres, a French musician, print publisher, and art dealer who was active in Italy and France during the early 17th century.

In this portrait, Van Dyck presents Langlois in the guise of a Savoyard, a term used at the time to refer to people from the Savoy region, which straddled parts of modern-day France, Italy, and Switzerland. The choice of depicting Langlois as a Savoyard may reflect his itinerant lifestyle and his role as a cultural intermediary between Italy, France, and the Low Countries. Langlois is shown playing a bagpipe, an instrument often associated with pastoral and folk music, which adds to the rustic character of the portrayal.

The painting is remarkable for its informal and lively representation, a departure from the more formal and stately portraits that were typical of Van Dyck's aristocratic subjects. The artist's masterful use of color and light, as well as his ability to capture the personality and vivacity of his sitter, are evident in this work. The portrait is also significant for its insight into the social and cultural exchanges of the time, as Langlois was a key figure in the dissemination of art and music across Europe.

"Portrait of François Langlois as a Savoyard" is held in high esteem for its art historical value, providing a glimpse into the life of a 17th-century cultural entrepreneur through the lens of one of the period's most accomplished portraitists. The painting is part of the collection of the Windsor Castle, Royal Collection, United Kingdom, and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic merit and historical context.
