"Portrait of Henry Ossawa Tanner" is an oil painting by the American artist Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins, completed in 1902. The painting is a representation of Henry Ossawa Tanner, who was a distinguished African American artist and a student of Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Tanner is best known for his works that often depicted religious scenes and the everyday life of African Americans.

In this portrait, Eakins captures Tanner during his time in Paris, where he had moved to escape the racial discrimination he faced in the United States. The painting is notable for its realistic depiction and the use of lighting to highlight Tanner's contemplative expression. Eakins' respect for Tanner as an artist and individual is evident in the dignified portrayal, which is devoid of the exoticism or caricature that often characterized depictions of African Americans at the time.

The "Portrait of Henry Ossawa Tanner" is considered an important work in Eakins' oeuvre, as it not only exemplifies his skill in portraiture but also reflects the progressive social attitudes he held. The painting is also significant in the context of American art history for its representation of a successful African American artist by his mentor and peer, at a time when such depictions were exceedingly rare.

The painting is part of the collection of the Des Moines Art Center in Iowa. It has been the subject of scholarly attention and has been included in various exhibitions that explore the themes of race, representation, and the history of American art.
