"Portrait of Charles Darwin 1809-1882" is an oil painting by the English artist John Collier, created in 1883, a year after Darwin's death. The portrait is one of the most renowned depictions of the influential naturalist and geologist, Charles Darwin, who is best known for his contributions to the science of evolution. Collier, a leading portrait painter of his time, was also Darwin's son-in-law, having married Darwin's daughter, Marian (Mady) Darwin, in 1881.

The painting presents Darwin in his later years, with a focus on his thoughtful and contemplative demeanor, which reflects his intellectual stature and the depth of his scientific insights. Darwin is portrayed seated, with his hands clasped in front of him, wearing his characteristic broad-brimmed hat and a coat with a fur collar, which he often wore in his later life due to his sensitivity to cold. The background of the painting is subdued, drawing attention to Darwin's figure and his facial expression, which is both serene and intense.

Collier's portrait has become an iconic image, often used to represent Darwin in various media and scholarly works. It is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing both the likeness and the spirit of one of the most significant figures in the history of science. The painting is held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery in London, where it remains an important piece for both its artistic merit and its historical significance in commemorating the life and work of Charles Darwin.
