"Sir George Biddell Airy" is a portrait painting created in 1883 by British artist John Collier. The painting depicts Sir George Biddell Airy, an English Astronomer Royal. The portrait captures Airy's distinguished appearance, seated in a chair with his hands clasped in his lap, wearing a dark coat over a white shirt and waistcoat, and a fur collar.
