"Portrait of Thomas Carlyle, Seated, Half-length, Wearing a Hat" is a notable painting by the British artist Walter Greaves. Walter Greaves (1846-1930) was an English painter and etcher, best known for his close association with the American artist James McNeill Whistler. Greaves, along with his brother Henry, initially worked as boat builders and watermen on the River Thames, where they met Whistler and subsequently became his studio assistants and devoted followers. The influence of Whistler is evident in much of Greaves' work, including his portraiture.

The subject of this particular painting, Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), was a prominent Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist, known for his profound influence on Victorian literature and thought. Carlyle's works, such as "Sartor Resartus" and "The French Revolution: A History," have left a lasting legacy in the fields of history and literature. His stern visage and intellectual presence made him a popular subject for portrait artists of his time.

In "Portrait of Thomas Carlyle, Seated, Half-length, Wearing a Hat," Greaves captures Carlyle in a moment of contemplative repose. The composition is intimate, focusing on Carlyle's upper body and face, with particular attention to his expressive features and the characteristic hat he often wore. The painting reflects Greaves' skill in rendering texture and detail, as well as his ability to convey the personality and mood of his sitter.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it represents a meeting of minds between two influential figures of the 19th century. Greaves' portrayal of Carlyle adds to the rich tapestry of visual and literary culture of the Victorian era, offering insight into the character and appearance of one of its most important intellectuals. This work remains an important piece within Greaves' oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
