John Howard Payne is a 1836 oil by Charles Robert Leslie, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This portrait depicts a young man with short dark hair, dressed in a dark velvet cloak with a white lace collar and cuffs. The background is a dark, muted tone. The subject's attire and the style of the painting suggest a formal, possibly aristocratic setting. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image.
