"Portrait of Rubens Peale with a Geranium" is an 1801 oil painting by the American artist Rembrandt Peale, one of the sons of the notable portraitist Charles Willson Peale. The subject of the painting is Rembrandt's younger brother, Rubens Peale, depicted with a potted geranium. This portrait is significant for its portrayal of the sitter with a botanical specimen, reflecting the Peale family's interest in natural history and the sciences, as well as their involvement in the establishment of the Peale Museum in Philadelphia.

Rembrandt Peale was known for his portraits of prominent figures in American history, but this particular work is more personal, capturing the essence of his brother in a moment of quiet contemplation. The painting is characterized by its fine detail, careful use of light, and the lifelike representation of Rubens Peale, which showcases Rembrandt Peale's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his sitters.

The inclusion of the geranium is not merely decorative; it is a specimen of Pelargonium x hortorum, a plant that Rubens successfully cultivated. The geranium holds symbolic significance as one of the first successfully greenhouse-grown plants in the United States, representing scientific progress and the horticultural interests of the Peale family. The painting is also notable for its refined execution and the harmonious relationship between the human subject and the natural element, which is a testament to Rembrandt Peale's artistic vision and his ability to imbue his works with deeper meaning.

"Portrait of Rubens Peale with a Geranium" is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It remains an important work in the study of early American art, offering insights into the cultural and scientific milieu of the period, as well as the personal dynamics within the Peale family.
