The Landscape Painter Jean Forest is a 1705 oil by Nicolas de Largillière, a Rococo painting work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
The painting depicts a man in a red robe and black hat, holding a palette and brushes. He is seated, with his body turned slightly to the right and his head facing forward. The background is dark, with a subtle hint of a landscape visible behind him. The man's attire and the objects he holds suggest that he is an artist, likely a painter. His expression is calm and introspective, as if lost in thought. To learn more about the artist who created this portrait, look up Nicolas de Largillière.
