"Portrait einer Dame als antike Vestalin" (Portrait of a Lady as an Ancient Vestal) is a notable work by Swiss neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffmann, painted circa 1780. Kauffmann, who was one of the most prominent female artists of the 18th century, is known for her ability to blend portraiture with historical and mythological themes, often presenting her subjects in the guise of figures from antiquity.

The painting depicts a woman dressed in the attire of a Vestal Virgin, the priestesses of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth in Roman religion. These priestesses were renowned for their chastity and for their role in maintaining the sacred fire within the Temple of Vesta in Rome. In this portrait, Kauffmann's subject adopts the serene and dignified pose characteristic of the Vestals, reflecting the neoclassical ideals of simplicity, virtue, and grace. The woman's clothing and the attributes included in the painting are carefully chosen to evoke the ancient setting, while also capturing the individual likeness and personality of the sitter.

Kauffmann's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural implications. By portraying contemporary women as classical figures, Kauffmann elevated her subjects, aligning them with the revered traditions of the past and emphasizing their moral and intellectual qualities. This approach was particularly resonant during the Enlightenment, when there was a renewed interest in classical antiquity and its values.

"Portrait einer Dame als antike Vestalin" is a testament to Kauffmann's skill in integrating portraiture with classical references, and it exemplifies the broader trends of neoclassicism that were influential during her time. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and for its role in the broader discourse on the representation of women in art and society.
