Dr. François Mêlier is a portrait painted by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. The painting, completed in 1834, depicts Dr. François Mêlier, a physician and contemporary of Ingres. This work is an example of Ingres' mastery in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the character and presence of his sitters with meticulous attention to detail.

The portrait is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by Ingres' signature precision and smooth brushwork. Dr. Mêlier is portrayed seated, wearing formal attire, which includes a dark coat and a white cravat. His pose is composed and dignified, with his hands resting calmly, reflecting his professional status and demeanor. The background of the painting is understated, drawing the viewer's focus entirely to the subject. Ingres' treatment of light and texture is evident in the rendering of the fabrics and the subtle modeling of the sitter's face.

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres was renowned for his portraits, both painted and drawn, which often emphasized clarity, elegance, and a sense of timelessness. His works were deeply rooted in the Neoclassical tradition, influenced by artists such as Raphael, yet they also displayed a unique sensitivity to his subjects. The portrait of Dr. François Mêlier is no exception, exemplifying Ingres' ability to combine technical skill with psychological insight.

The painting is part of the collection of the Musée Ingres in Montauban, France, which houses many of the artist's works. The museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing Ingres' legacy, as well as that of other artists from the region. Dr. François Mêlier is considered one of the notable works in the museum's collection, reflecting Ingres' contribution to 19th-century portraiture.

This portrait not only serves as a representation of Dr. Mêlier but also as a testament to Ingres' enduring skill and influence as a portraitist. It remains an important example of his work and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
