Portrait of Edward Bulwer-Lytton is an oil on canvas portrait painting by the British artist Henry William Pickersgill, from 1831.
It depicts the British author Edward Bulwer-Lytton. The portrait is conventional. He is depicted seated, looking directly at the viewer, while his left elbow lies in a book. Bulwer-Lytton had made his name during the late Regency era with his novel Pelham. He went on to be a popular writer of historical novels, regarded as a prominent rival of Charles Dickens, and a politician.
The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1831 at Somerset House. It is today in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London, having been acquired in 1900.
