Martha and Teresa Blount by Charles Jervas is a notable portrait painting that captures the likenesses of two prominent 18th-century English sisters, Martha Blount (1690–1763) and Teresa Blount (1691–1759). The Blount sisters were well-known figures in their time, particularly due to their close association with the celebrated poet Alexander Pope. Charles Jervas (c. 1675–1739), the artist behind this work, was an Irish portrait painter who enjoyed considerable success in London, becoming the principal painter to King George I and later to King George II.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. The Blount sisters were part of the Catholic gentry, a group that faced considerable social and political challenges in Protestant-dominated England. Despite these challenges, they maintained a prominent social presence and were well-regarded in literary and artistic circles. Their friendship with Alexander Pope, one of the leading literary figures of the time, further cemented their place in the cultural history of the period. Pope's correspondence with the Blount sisters, particularly with Martha, reveals a deep and enduring friendship, and his letters to them are considered some of the most personal and affectionate in his oeuvre.

Jervas's portrait of the Blount sisters is a testament to his skill in capturing the elegance and refinement of his subjects. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, the delicate rendering of the sisters' features, and the rich, sumptuous use of color. It reflects the Rococo style that was prevalent in the early 18th century, marked by its lightness, grace, and decorative qualities.

The exact date of the painting is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been created during the height of Jervas's career, possibly in the 1720s or 1730s. Today, the portrait remains an important piece of art historical scholarship, offering insights into the lives of two remarkable women and the artistic milieu of their time.
