"Portrait of James Prescott Joule (1818-89)" is a painting by the British artist John Maler Collier, created in 1882 as a tribute to the renowned English physicist James Prescott Joule. The portrait is a significant work of art that captures Joule, known for his research on the nature of heat and the discovery of its relationship to mechanical work, which led to the theory of conservation of energy and the development of the first law of thermodynamics.

John Maler Collier (1850-1934) was a leading portrait painter of his time, with a reputation for his ability to capture the character and essence of his subjects. In this portrait, Collier depicts Joule at the age of 64, towards the end of his life, yet still engaged in his scientific pursuits. The painting is a half-length portrait that shows Joule seated, dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and black tie, conveying the dignity and respectability of the Victorian era. His expression is thoughtful and introspective, reflecting his intellectual stature and the depth of his scientific inquiries.

The portrait is rendered with Collier's characteristic attention to detail and fine brushwork, emphasizing the textures of Joule's clothing and the softness of his hair and beard. The background is subdued, focusing the viewer's attention on the figure of Joule. The painting serves not only as a representation of the physicist's appearance but also as a symbol of his enduring legacy in the field of science.

"Portrait of James Prescott Joule (1818-89)" is held in the collection of the Manchester Art Gallery, located in Joule's hometown of Manchester, England, where it remains an important piece that connects the city's cultural heritage with its history of scientific achievement. The artwork is a testament to Collier's skill as a portraitist and stands as a historical document of the life and work of one of the 19th century's most influential scientists.
