Portrait of Louis Tocqué is a 1739 oil by Jean-Marc Nattier, held at Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.
The painting depicts a man with white hair, dressed in a brown coat and gold vest, holding a palette and brushes in his right hand. He is shown from the waist up, facing slightly to the left. The background is a muted brown color. The man's attire and the objects he holds suggest that he is an artist. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes and texture. This portrait is reminiscent of the works of Jean-Marc Nattier, a French painter known for his portraits of nobility and artists.
Jean-Marc Nattier (French pronunciation: ; 17 March 1685 – 7 November 1766) was a French painter.
