"Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry (1794–1858) from Graphic Scenes in the Japan Expedition" is a notable lithograph created by Wilhelm Heine that depicts the influential American naval officer Commodore Matthew C. Perry. The artwork is part of a larger collection that visually documents the United States' expedition to Japan in the mid-19th century, an event that led to the opening of Japan to the West after more than two centuries of self-imposed isolation.

Wilhelm Heine, a German-American artist, was an official artist of the Perry expedition. His works, including this lithograph, provide a valuable historical record of the events and interactions between the American delegation and the Japanese people during this pivotal moment in history. The lithograph not only captures the likeness of Commodore Perry but also reflects the cultural and political significance of the expedition, which ultimately resulted in the signing of the Convention of Kanagawa in 1854.

The collection to which this lithograph belongs offers insight into the early stages of international relations between Japan and the United States, as well as the broader impact of Western imperialism in Asia. It serves as a visual testament to Perry's role in expanding American influence and is an important piece for understanding the visual culture and historical narrative of the period.
