"Portrait d'un Noir," also known as "Portrait of a Black Man," is a notable painting by the French Romantic artist Théodore Géricault, created around 1819. This work is significant for its empathetic portrayal of a Black man, reflecting Géricault's interest in social issues and human emotion. The painting is often associated with the period following the abolition of slavery in France in 1818, highlighting themes of freedom and dignity.

Géricault is best known for his masterpiece "The Raft of the Medusa," but "Portrait d'un Noir" stands out for its intimate and respectful depiction of its subject. The painting captures the man in a contemplative pose, with a direct gaze that engages the viewer. The use of light and shadow emphasizes the subject's facial features, conveying a sense of depth and humanity.

The identity of the man in the portrait is not definitively known, but it is believed that he may have been a model or an acquaintance of Géricault. The painting's focus on a Black subject was unusual for its time, as European art rarely depicted Black individuals with such dignity and individuality. This work is often interpreted as a statement against racial stereotypes and a call for recognition of shared humanity.

"Portrait d'un Noir" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be an important piece for study and appreciation. The painting is celebrated for its technical skill and its progressive approach to representation, reflecting Géricault's broader concerns with social justice and the human condition. Through this portrait, Géricault challenges viewers to confront their perceptions and consider the complexities of identity and representation in art.
