"Portrait of a Young Lady in Blue Dress with Lapdog" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age painter Abraham van den Tempel. Van den Tempel, known for his portraits and history paintings, was active during a period that is often considered the pinnacle of Dutch painting. This particular work is notable for its depiction of a young woman, possibly of the Dutch upper class, dressed in a sumptuous blue gown that reflects the fashion of the era.

The painting captures the sitter in a moment of relaxed elegance, accompanied by her lapdog, which was a common symbol of loyalty and companionship in portraiture of the time. The use of blue in the dress not only highlights the artist's skill in rendering fabric and color but also may allude to the status and wealth of the subject, as blue dye was often expensive. The young lady's pose and the inclusion of the lapdog also suggest an air of casual sophistication and a personal glimpse into her life.

Abraham van den Tempel (1622–1672) was a student of the renowned portraitist Joris van Schooten and later, of the influential painter Claes Moeyaert. Van den Tempel himself became a respected artist in Leiden and Amsterdam, contributing to the rich tradition of Dutch portraiture. "Portrait of a Young Lady in Blue Dress with Lapdog" exemplifies his ability to combine portraiture with elements of genre painting, creating works that are both personal and evocative of the broader cultural milieu.

The painting is a testament to the artist's mastery of light, composition, and texture, and it provides valuable insights into the social and cultural context of the Dutch Golden Age. As with many works of this period, the painting is also an important piece for the study of fashion and the representation of women in art history. While the exact date of the painting and the identity of the young woman remain unknown, the work continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a representation of van den Tempel's artistic legacy.
