Man with a Pipe is a Cubist oil-on-canvas painting made in 1911 and 1912 by the French artist Jean Metzinger, measuring 92.7 by 65.4 centimeters. It depicts a seated man with his arms crossed and a pipe in his mouth at a table set with a mug of beer, wearing a jacket and tie, with an American vase and a portrait hanging on the wall behind him; Metzinger described such compositions as seeking a total image of the subject by representing it from multiple angles simultaneously rather than depicting motion. The painting had been held at the Wriston Art Center Galleries at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, after being gifted by Howard Green, but has been missing since 1998, having disappeared in transit while on loan between 27 July and 2 August of that year.
