Charles Dickens in His Study is an oil on canvas painting by English artist William Powell Frith, created in 1859.

Forster had a similar photograph of Dickens to be taken before the painting, but Frith decided to ignore it and didn't use it.

In a letter of the same year, he wrote about his "portrait of Charles Dickens whose troublesome face I shall remember to the day of my death".

Dickens stated that "it is a little too much (to my thinking) as if my next door neighbour were my deadly foe, uninsured, and I had just received tidings of his house being a-fire.

"[1][3] The portrait depicts Dickens seated in his house study, in Bloomsbury, looking to his left, while not facing directly the viewer, with legs crossed, with one hand on his pocket and the other arm on the chair.
