Francisco de Assis Peixoto Gomide is a 1900 oil by José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
This painting depicts a man with a dark beard and mustache, wearing a black jacket over a white shirt and black bow tie. He is shown from the chest up, facing slightly to the right. The background is a mottled grey. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking off into the distance. His dark hair is thinning on top, and he has a prominent nose and eyebrows. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes that give it a textured appearance.
