"Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (1815-52), 1852" is a portrait of Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer primarily known for her work on Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Painted by Alfred Edward Chalon (1780–1860), a Swiss portrait painter who worked in England, the artwork captures Lovelace at the age of 37, just a year before her untimely death.

Ada Lovelace, born Augusta Ada Byron, was the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron and his wife Anne Isabella Milbanke. Despite her father's poetic legacy, Lovelace pursued interests in mathematics and science, a rarity for women of her time. Her educational and social opportunities enabled her to develop relationships with prominent intellectuals, including Charles Babbage, with whom she collaborated.

The portrait by Chalon is significant as it is one of the few contemporary images of Lovelace, offering a visual representation of a woman who has since become an iconic figure in the history of computing. The artwork is rendered in Chalon's characteristic style, which was known for its elegance and attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of his subjects' attire and demeanor.

Ada Lovelace's contributions to computing were not fully recognized until long after her death, but she is now celebrated as the first computer programmer, having written what is considered the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine. The portrait by Alfred Edward Chalon thus not only serves as a historical record of Lovelace's appearance but also stands as a tribute to her intellectual legacy and the intersection of art, technology, and gender in the 19th century.
