"Prince James Francis Edward Stuart" is an oil painting by the Italian artist Antonio David (1698–1750), who was particularly renowned for his portraits of the Stuart royal family. This painting, created in the early 18th century, depicts the titular prince, also known as the "Old Pretender," who was the son of the deposed King James II of England and VII of Scotland. James Francis Edward Stuart became the focus of Jacobite aspirations and was himself a claimant to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

The portrait is significant both artistically and historically. Artistically, it showcases David's skill in capturing the elegance and dignity associated with royal portraiture of the period. Historically, it represents the Jacobite cause and the continuing support for the Stuart claim to the British throne after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which had resulted in James II's ousting and the installation of William III and Mary II as co-monarchs.

Antonio David was appointed as the court painter to the Stuart court in exile in Rome by James Francis Edward himself, and his portraits were instrumental in promoting the Jacobite cause across Europe. The painting of Prince James Francis Edward Stuart is particularly noted for its detailed rendering of the prince's features, the finery of his clothing, and the regal bearing that David sought to convey.

This portrait is one of several that David produced of the prince over the years, each serving to maintain the visibility of the Stuart claim and to foster support among sympathizers. The painting is a valuable resource for understanding the visual culture of the Jacobite movement and the role of portraiture in 18th-century political and dynastic disputes.
