"Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855) 1850" is a portrait by the English painter George Richmond, depicting the renowned British novelist Charlotte Brontë, who is best known for her classic novel "Jane Eyre." Painted in 1850, this portrait is one of the most iconic images of Brontë, created just five years before her death. The work is a chalk drawing that captures the author in a contemplative pose, reflecting the depth and intensity for which her literary works are celebrated.

George Richmond, a member of the artistic group known as The Ancients, was a prominent portraitist of the Victorian era, renowned for his depictions of notable figures of the time. His portrait of Charlotte Brontë is particularly significant as it provides a rare visual representation of the author, whose life was marked by a modest and reclusive existence, far removed from the public eye. The portrait was commissioned by Brontë's publisher, George Smith, and has since become an important artifact that offers insight into the personal appearance and demeanor of one of the most influential writers of the 19th century.

The portrait is characterized by its soft yet detailed rendering of Brontë's features, with a focus on her thoughtful expression and the intensity of her gaze. Richmond's use of light and shadow in the drawing contributes to the overall sense of depth and psychological complexity, mirroring the intricate characterizations found in Brontë's literary works. The portrait remains an enduring image in the Brontë mythology and is frequently reproduced in biographical materials related to the author's life and work.

Today, the portrait is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and enthusiasts of Brontë's life and literature. Its existence provides a tangible connection to the author, whose powerful narratives and pioneering role as a female writer in the Victorian era continue to resonate with readers around the world.
