Portrait of Louis-Auguste Schwiter is an oil painting on canvas executed in 1826–27 by Eugène Delacroix. The subject, who was the son of Henri César Auguste Schwiter, was a friend of the artist. The painting was an early attempt by Delacroix to combine portraiture with landscape painting.Allard, Sébastien; Fabre, Côme; Korchane, Mehdi (2018). Delacroix.
