Portrait du sculpteur Jean Thierry is a 1730 oil by Nicolas de Largillière, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The painting depicts a man with long, curly white hair, wearing a red velvet jacket with gold buttons and a white lace collar. He holds a paintbrush in his right hand, and a red cloth is draped over his left arm. In the background, a statue of a woman stands on a pedestal. The man's attire and the presence of a paintbrush suggest that he is an artist. The level of detail in the painting, particularly in the subject's clothing and the statue, indicates a high level of skill and attention to detail.
