"Portrait of Henry Polidori" is a notable work by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, created in 1846. This portrait captures Henry Polidori, the younger brother of Rossetti's mother, Frances Polidori. Henry Polidori was also the brother of John William Polidori, the author of the seminal Gothic novella "The Vampyre." The Polidori family had a significant influence on Rossetti, both personally and artistically, and this portrait is a testament to the close familial ties and the admiration Rossetti held for his uncle.

Rossetti, who was only 18 years old at the time of creating this portrait, demonstrates his burgeoning talent and the early signs of the distinctive style that would later define his career. The portrait is executed in pencil and chalk, showcasing Rossetti's skill in capturing the delicate nuances of his subject's features and expression. Henry Polidori is depicted with a thoughtful and somewhat melancholic demeanor, which is characteristic of Rossetti's ability to convey deep emotional states through his art.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its place within the context of Rossetti's development as an artist. It predates the formation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848, a movement co-founded by Rossetti that sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. "Portrait of Henry Polidori" thus provides insight into Rossetti's early influences and the foundational skills that he would later expand upon.

Today, the portrait is appreciated for its historical and familial significance, as well as its role in the early career of one of the 19th century's most influential artists. It remains a poignant example of Rossetti's ability to blend personal narrative with artistic expression, a hallmark that would come to define much of his later work.
