"A Striking View of Richmond" is an early 19th-century portrait by the English caricaturist Richard Dighton (1795–1880), known for his satirical and often humorous etchings of figures from British society. The artwork is a depiction of the boxer Bill Richmond (1763–1829), an African American born into slavery who gained his freedom and became a prominent pugilist in England. Richmond was a significant figure in the history of boxing, and Dighton's portrait captures him in a moment of confident repose, reflecting both his athletic prowess and his unique position in Regency society.

The etching is characteristic of Dighton's style, which combined portraiture with elements of caricature, eschewing the more grotesque features common in the works of some of his contemporaries. Instead, Dighton's approach was more subtle, focusing on the individuality of his subjects and often imbuing them with a sense of dignity. "A Striking View of Richmond" is notable for its representation of a sportsman of African descent during a period when such individuals were rarely afforded such attention by artists of Dighton's stature.

The portrait is part of a larger body of work by Richard Dighton, which includes numerous etchings of London characters and notables. His works provide valuable insights into the social fabric of Regency England and are held in various art collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London. "A Striking View of Richmond" not only serves as an important cultural artifact but also as a testament to the life and career of Bill Richmond, whose legacy in the sport of boxing is still recognized today.
