EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the earliest known portrait of the renowned British novelist and writer, Charles Dickens. Painted in 1830 by his aunt Janet Barrow, this oil on panel masterpiece captures a youthful Dickens at the age of 18. The small size of the painting, measuring just 9x8 cm, adds to its charm and intimacy. At the time this portrait was created, Dickens resided at 10 Norfolk Street in Fitzroy Square, London. It provides a glimpse into his early life before he became one of the most celebrated authors of all time. The artist skillfully portrays Dickens with an air of intelligence and determination that would come to define him throughout his career. As a key figure in Victorian literature, Charles Dickens left an indelible mark on English literature with his iconic works such as "A Tale of Two Cities" "Great Expectations" and "Oliver Twist". His stories often depicted social issues prevalent during that era while showcasing memorable characters from various walks of life. This print serves as a testament to both Dickens' literary genius and his humble beginnings. Housed at the Charles Dickens Museum in London, it stands as a cherished artifact representing not only the author himself but also an important chapter in British cultural history.
