"Half Length Portrait of a Lady in a Red Dress Holding a Lute" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Irish portrait painter Charles Jervas. The artwork is notable for its depiction of an elegantly dressed woman, presumed to be of high social standing, engaging with the viewer while holding a lute, an instrument often associated with the cultured and refined. The painting is characterized by its rich color palette, with the red dress of the lady providing a striking contrast to the more subdued background hues.

Charles Jervas (c. 1675 – 1739) was a prominent portraitist in his time, known for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his sitters. He studied under Sir Godfrey Kneller, one of the leading portrait painters in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Jervas's clientele included nobility and literary figures, and he eventually succeeded Kneller as Principal Painter in Ordinary to King George I.

The "Half Length Portrait of a Lady in a Red Dress Holding a Lute" exemplifies Jervas's skill in portraiture, showcasing his adept use of light and shadow to model the figure and his attention to the textural details of fabric and flesh. The painting also reflects the cultural milieu of the period, in which music and the arts were highly valued among the aristocracy and the emerging bourgeoisie.

While the identity of the lady in the painting is not definitively known, the work is appreciated for its artistic merit and as a representation of the era's social and cultural dynamics. The painting is a testament to Jervas's reputation as a portraitist who could convey both the appearance and the genteel spirit of his subjects.
