Portrait of Alexander Reid is a 1894 oil by Vincent van Gogh, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This portrait depicts a man with a reddish-brown beard and mustache, wearing a white shirt and a dark jacket. His hair is short and brown. The background is a mix of red, orange, and yellow brushstrokes. The man's facial expression is neutral, with a slight furrowing of his brow. His eyes are cast downward, and his mouth is set in a straight line. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation.
