Portrait of Marshal Saint-Cyr

Artist	Horace Vernet
Year	1821
Type	Oil on canvas, portrait painting
Dimensions	215 cm × 140 cm (85 in × 55 in)
Location	Palace of Versailles, Versailles

Portrait of Marshal Saint-Cyr is an 1821 portrait painting by the French artist Horace Vernet. It depicts Laurent de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, a former Marshal of the Empire under Napoleon. In 1817 he was appointed as Minister of War during the post-war Restoration era.

Rather than the more common state portrait Saint-Cyr is shown as a man of action, lit by lamplight in a military camp planning the next day's campaigning. Vernet exhibited at the Salon of 1824 in Paris. Today it is in the collection of the Palace of Versailles.
