Portraits by Charles Ricketts refers to a collection of artworks created by Charles de Sousy Ricketts (1866–1931), a versatile British artist known for his contributions as a painter, illustrator, author, and designer, among other artistic endeavors. Ricketts, a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement and later the Symbolist Movement in Britain, was renowned for his distinctive approach to art and design, which was deeply influenced by his studies of the Renaissance and his keen interest in the integration of form and function. His work in portraiture, though perhaps less celebrated than his contributions to book design and illustration, showcases his adeptness in capturing the essence and character of his subjects, often reflecting the artistic and intellectual milieu of his time.

Ricketts's portraits are characterized by their elegance, attention to detail, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which reveal the influence of his broader artistic and aesthetic concerns. These works often feature prominent figures from the literary, artistic, and cultural circles of late 19th and early 20th century Britain, including members of the Oscar Wilde circle, with whom Ricketts was closely associated. His portraits not only serve as a visual record of his contemporaries but also as a testament to his skill in using portraiture as a medium for artistic expression.

Throughout his career, Ricketts engaged with various mediums, including oil painting, watercolor, and drawing, to execute his portraits. This versatility allowed him to explore different aspects of the portrait genre, from formal commissioned works to more intimate sketches of friends and associates. Despite the diversity in medium and subject matter, his portraits consistently reflect his broader artistic principles, including a harmonious balance of composition, a refined color palette, and an emphasis on the decorative potential of the portrait format.

Today, portraits by Charles Ricketts are held in various public and private collections, offering insight into the artist's personal relationships and his contribution to the visual culture of his era. They continue to be studied for their aesthetic qualities and as a window into the vibrant artistic community of which Ricketts was a part.
