"Portrait of George Gordon, 1788-1824, 6th Baron Byron of Rochdale in Albanian Dress, 1813" is an oil painting by the British artist Thomas Phillips, created in 1813. The subject of the portrait is the renowned Romantic poet Lord Byron, who is depicted in an exotic Albanian costume. This painting is one of the most famous images of Byron and reflects the poet's flamboyant and adventurous personality, as well as his fascination with different cultures.

The portrait was commissioned by Byron himself, following his return from a grand tour during which he traveled through the Mediterranean and the Ottoman Empire, including Albania. The attire Byron wears in the painting is a traditional Albanian outfit, complete with a white fustanella (a kind of kilt), a red waistcoat, and a cap, known as a qeleshe. The costume was a souvenir from his travels and was a deliberate choice to project an image of the poet as a romantic and adventurous figure.

Phillips' work captures Byron in a half-length pose, with his gaze fixed directly at the viewer, exuding a sense of confidence and the exotic appeal of the East. The portrait is notable for its rich color palette and the detailed rendering of the textures of Byron's clothing, which add to the overall dramatic and romantic effect.

The painting is significant not only as a work of art but also as a cultural artifact that encapsulates the Romantic fascination with the 'noble savage' and the allure of the Orient that was prevalent in early 19th-century Britain. It also serves as an important visual document of Lord Byron's life and persona, contributing to the enduring image of the poet as a leading figure of his era.

Today, the portrait is held in a public collection and remains an important piece in the study of British portraiture, Romanticism, and the life and legacy of Lord Byron. It continues to attract attention for its artistic merit and as a symbol of the period in which it was created.
