"Portrait of a Negro" is a painting by the English artist William Etty, created in the early 19th century. Etty, known primarily for his history paintings containing nude figures, was also an accomplished portraitist. This work is significant as it represents one of the relatively few portrayals of black individuals in British art during this period. The painting is notable for its dignified representation of the subject, at a time when depictions of black people were often caricatured or stereotypical.

The portrait is executed in oil on canvas and showcases Etty's skill in rendering the human form with sensitivity and realism. The identity of the sitter is unknown, and the circumstances of the painting's commission are not well documented, which is common for many portraits of the era featuring people of African descent. The work is an important historical document, reflecting the complex social attitudes and the presence of black individuals in Britain during the time of the transatlantic slave trade and its abolition.

"Portrait of a Negro" has been discussed in the context of the abolitionist movement in Britain, as well as in studies of race and representation in art history. The painting is part of a broader conversation about the role of art in shaping societal views on race and the human dignity of all individuals, regardless of their background.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting's current location or ownership status is not widely publicized, and it may not be on regular public display. The work is occasionally referenced in scholarly articles and exhibitions that explore the themes of race and identity in British art.
