"Portrait of George Frederick Watts" is a notable photograph taken by David Wilkie Wynfield, a distinguished 19th-century British photographer and painter. This work is part of a broader series by Wynfield that aimed to capture his contemporaries in the style of the Old Masters, particularly emulating the soft focus and dramatic lighting characteristic of Renaissance portraiture. George Frederick Watts (1817–1904), the subject of this portrait, was a prominent Victorian painter and sculptor, celebrated for his allegorical works and association with the Symbolist movement. Wynfield's portrait of Watts not only immortalizes a key figure of the Victorian art world but also showcases Wynfield's innovative approach to photography, blending historical artistic techniques with the then-emerging medium of photography.

David Wilkie Wynfield himself was a member of the St. John's Wood Clique, a group of artists known for their historical and genre paintings. His interest in photography developed alongside his painting career, and he became adept at using the camera to create images that echoed the painterly qualities of earlier art periods. The "Portrait of George Frederick Watts" exemplifies Wynfield's mastery in achieving a painterly quality in photographs, a technique that contributed to the pictorialist movement in photography.

The photograph is characterized by its use of soft focus and dramatic, directional lighting, which highlights the thoughtful expression of Watts and adds a timeless quality to the image. Wynfield's choice to photograph Watts, a figure deeply embedded in the art and cultural circles of the time, reflects the interconnectedness of artists and intellectuals in Victorian England. This portrait, along with others in Wynfield's series, played a crucial role in elevating the status of photography as an art form during the 19th century.

Today, "Portrait of George Frederick Watts" is recognized not only for its artistic and historical significance but also for its role in the early development of artistic photography. It stands as a testament to the creative exchange between painting and photography, and the enduring legacy of Victorian art and culture.
