"Portrait of Mrs. Cubley as Terpsichore, half-length, in a white dress and a blue wrap, playing a lyre" is an 18th-century painting by the Swiss neoclassical artist Angelica Kauffmann. Renowned for her portraiture and historical subjects, Kauffmann was one of the few female members of the Royal Academy in London and enjoyed a successful career in a male-dominated art world. This particular work is a fine example of her portraiture, in which she often depicted her subjects in the guise of mythological figures.

In this painting, Mrs. Cubley is portrayed as Terpsichore, the Greek muse of dance and choral song. The choice of Terpsichore as an allegorical representation aligns with the neoclassical tradition of embodying virtues or arts through mythological personas. Mrs. Cubley is depicted in a graceful pose, half-length, wearing a flowing white dress that suggests classical drapery, with a blue wrap that adds a touch of color to the composition. She is shown playing a lyre, an instrument often associated with the muses, which reinforces her identification with Terpsichore.

Kauffmann's skill in capturing the elegance and refined demeanor of her subject is evident in the delicate rendering of Mrs. Cubley's features and the harmonious composition of the painting. The artwork reflects the neoclassical aesthetic of the time, characterized by a return to classical antiquity's simplicity, balance, and harmony. The painting not only exemplifies Kauffmann's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the late 18th century, where classical references were a popular means of expressing contemporary ideals of beauty and virtue.

As with many of Kauffmann's works, this portrait likely served to elevate the social status of the sitter by associating her with the noble qualities of a muse. The painting is a testament to Kauffmann's ability to blend portraiture with historical and mythological themes, creating works that were both personal and steeped in the broader cultural narratives of her time.
