Portrait of Charles Dickens is an oil on canvas portrait painting by the Dutch-French artist Ary Scheffer, from 1855. It depicts the British author Charles Dickens.[1]
Dickens sat for the painting while visiting Paris. He is portrayed, seated, with hands crossed, looking sideways. The background of the paintings is brown and left undefined on purpose.[2]
The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition in 1856. Today the work is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, in London, which purchased it in 1870.[3]
