"Portrait of Dr. Richard Mead" is an oil on canvas painting created in 1747 by the prominent Scottish portrait painter Allan Ramsay (1713–1784). The artwork depicts Dr. Richard Mead (1673–1754), one of the most esteemed physicians of 18th-century England, known for his contributions to the understanding of diseases and for his extensive collection of art and antiquities. Mead was a significant cultural figure and a patron of the arts, and his patronage of Ramsay reflects the close relationship between the medical profession and the arts during the Enlightenment.

In this portrait, Ramsay captures the intellectual spirit and the social stature of Dr. Mead with a refined elegance that is characteristic of Ramsay's mature style. The painting shows Mead seated, dressed in the formal attire of his time, with an air of composed dignity. The setting and pose are typical of Ramsay's portraiture, which often features sitters in thoughtful repose, suggesting their character and status. The use of light and shadow, as well as the attention to the textures of fabric and the sitter's physiognomy, demonstrate Ramsay's skill in rendering both the physical likeness and the personality of his subjects.

Allan Ramsay was the leading portraitist in Scotland before moving to Italy for further study and then settling in London, where he became a favorite painter of the British aristocracy. His portraits are known for their grace and sensitivity, and "Portrait of Dr. Richard Mead" is a fine example of his work from the mid-18th century. The painting not only serves as a testament to Ramsay's artistic talent but also provides historical insight into the era's cultural and intellectual milieu.

Today, "Portrait of Dr. Richard Mead" is considered an important work in Ramsay's oeuvre, reflecting the intersection of art, medicine, and patronage in Georgian Britain. It holds significance for its artistic merit as well as its representation of a leading figure in the medical and intellectual community of the time. The painting is an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of portraiture, the Enlightenment, and the relationship between art and science.
