"William Wilberforce" is an oil on canvas portrait by the renowned British painter Sir Thomas Lawrence. Painted in 1828, this artwork immortalizes the prominent British politician, philanthropist, and leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade, William Wilberforce (1759–1833). The portrait is a testament to Lawrence's mastery of capturing the character and essence of his sitters, which contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost portraitists of the Regency era.

In the portrait, Wilberforce is depicted with a contemplative expression, possibly alluding to his tireless commitment to social reform. The artwork captures the subject's refined features with a softness and sensitivity that is characteristic of Lawrence's style. The use of light and shadow, as well as the attention to the textural details of Wilberforce's attire, exemplify the artist's skill in rendering both the physical likeness and the psychological depth of his subjects.

The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, reflecting the social and political climate of early 19th-century Britain. It commemorates Wilberforce's significant contribution to humanitarian causes, most notably his pivotal role in the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which laid the groundwork for the eventual abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire.

"William Wilberforce" by Sir Thomas Lawrence is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to engage with a piece of history and appreciate the artistry of one of Britain's leading portrait painters. The portrait is emblematic of the era's artistic and cultural achievements, as well as the enduring legacy of Wilberforce's advocacy for justice and human rights.
