"Portrait of George, Lord Byron 1788-1824" is an oil painting by the British artist Thomas Phillips RA (1770–1845), depicting the renowned Romantic poet, George Gordon Byron, commonly known as Lord Byron. Created in 1813, this portrait is one of the most iconic images of Lord Byron and has played a significant role in shaping the visual legacy of the poet known for his flamboyant lifestyle and his brilliant, often controversial works.

Phillips, a leading portraitist of his time, captured Byron at the age of 25, around the time when the poet achieved celebrity with the publication of the first two cantos of "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" (1812). The portrait is imbued with the Romantic spirit, portraying Byron in an Albanian dress, a costume he wore during his travels in the Mediterranean and the Ottoman Empire, which he visited between 1809 and 1811. This attire also reflects Byron's fascination with different cultures and his desire to distance himself from the conventional British aristocracy.

The painting is characterized by its rich color palette and the detailed rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics of Byron's costume to his curling hair. Byron's pose and expression are contemplative and introspective, which, along with the exotic costume, serve to enhance his image as a poetic genius and a cultural outsider. The portrait successfully conveys a sense of the complex personality of Lord Byron, who was as famous for his scandalous personal life as he was for his literary achievements.

"Portrait of George, Lord Byron 1788-1824" by Thomas Phillips is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London, where it continues to attract attention for its artistic merit and as a representation of one of England's most enigmatic literary figures. The work is not only a testament to Phillips' skill as a portraitist but also a valuable historical document that offers insight into the identity construction of one of the early 19th century's most celebrated poets.
