Om målningen

Portrait of Charles Dickens is an oil on canvas portrait painting by the Irish artist Daniel Maclise, from 1839. It is a depiction of the English novelist Charles Dickens, still in his youth. Dickens's debut novel The Pickwick Papers had been a popular success, which he had followed up with Nicholas Nickleby. He was around twenty-seven when he sat for the painting, which is sometimes known as Young Dickens.

The painting depicts Dickens sitting at a writing table and was generally considered a "good likeness". It was used for the frontispiece of his third novel Nicholas Nickleby. Today it is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, in London, having been transferred from the Tate Galleries in 2012. An engraving based on the painting was produced by Edward Francis Finden.
