The Right Honourable John Bright (1811–1889), MP is a 1869 oil by Charles Lucy, a Realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a man sitting by a table, dressed in a black suit with a dark vest and a white shirt. He has white hair and is resting his right hand on his chin. The table beside him is covered with a red cloth and holds a stack of books and papers. The background of the painting is a dark, muted color. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it may be a portrait from the 19th century. The artist's use of dark colors and the subject's formal pose give the painting a sense of solemnity.
