"Portrait of the Carpenter from 'The Raft of the Medusa'" is an oil painting by the French Romantic artist Théodore Géricault, completed circa 1819. The painting is a study of one of the survivors from the infamous shipwreck of the French naval frigate Méduse, which ran aground off the coast of Mauritania in 1816. This event captured the public's imagination and became a symbol of human suffering and endurance.

Géricault's portrait is part of a series of studies and sketches that he undertook in preparation for his larger and more famous work, "The Raft of the Medusa" (1818-1819), which is exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The portrait focuses on the carpenter, Alexander Corréard, who played a significant role in the construction of the makeshift raft that carried the survivors. Corréard's intense gaze and the meticulous rendering of his features reflect Géricault's commitment to capturing the psychological depth and the harrowing experiences of the individuals involved in the tragedy.

The painting is notable for its realistic portrayal of human emotion and the use of chiaroscuro to highlight the resilience and despair of the subject. Géricault's interest in the plight of the survivors led him to interview them and create lifelike representations, which added a sense of authenticity and emotional impact to his works. "Portrait of the Carpenter from 'The Raft of the Medusa'" is an important example of Géricault's dedication to the theme of human suffering and his mastery of portraiture. It remains a significant work in the study of Romanticism and the history of French painting.

The painting is held in a private collection and is less well-known than the grand history painting it relates to, but it is nonetheless an important piece that contributes to the understanding of Géricault's artistic process and the cultural context of early 19th-century France.
