Portrait of Madame Augustine Bertin de Veaux is a 1809 oil by Anne-Louis Girodet, a French Romanticism work, held at Clark Art Institute.

The woman's dress is intricately detailed, with a low neckline and short sleeves. Her hair is styled in loose curls, and she has a subtle expression on her face.
