"Portrait of Galfridus Walpole" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Irish portrait painter Charles Jervas. The subject of the portrait, Galfridus Walpole (1683–1726), was a Royal Navy officer and the younger brother of Sir Robert Walpole, who is generally regarded as the first Prime Minister of Great Britain. The painting is a significant example of Jervas's portraiture, which was highly regarded in his time for its elegance and ability to capture the likeness and character of his sitters.

Charles Jervas (c. 1675–1739) was a prominent artist of the period, known for his portraits of the British aristocracy and his role as a principal painter to King George I. He studied under Sir Godfrey Kneller, the leading portraitist in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and later spent time in Paris and Rome, where he honed his skills and absorbed the influences of European art.

The portrait of Galfridus Walpole is executed in Jervas's characteristic style, which combines a strong sense of realism with a refined elegance. The work likely dates from the period when Jervas had established his reputation in London and was sought after by the social elite for his portrait services. The painting would have served both as a personal memento for the family and as a demonstration of their social status and connections.

As a historical artifact, the portrait provides insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the early Georgian era, as well as the iconography of naval officers in British portraiture. The depiction of Galfridus Walpole in his naval uniform adds to the understanding of the visual representation of military figures during a period when Britain's naval power was of significant national importance.

The "Portrait of Galfridus Walpole" by Charles Jervas is an important work within the oeuvre of the artist and contributes to the broader narrative of British portraiture in the early 18th century. It remains an object of study for art historians interested in the period, the artist, and the Walpole family's place in British history.
