"Portrait of Prince Henry Benedict Cardinal York (1725-1807)" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Italian artist Domenico Duprà. The portrait features Henry Benedict Stuart, also known as Cardinal York, the youngest son of James Francis Edward Stuart, the Jacobite claimant to the British throne, and Maria Clementina Sobieska, granddaughter of the Polish king John III Sobieski. Henry Benedict Stuart was a significant figure in the Jacobite succession and a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church.

Domenico Duprà, an accomplished portraitist active during the Baroque period, was known for his refined technique and ability to capture the likeness and character of his sitters. In this portrait, Duprà depicts the prince in his cardinal's robes, signifying his high rank within the Catholic Church and his status as a prince of the Stuart line. The painting is notable for its attention to detail, the rich textures of the fabrics, and the dignified representation of the cardinal, which reflects his dual role as a religious leader and a claimant to the thrones of England and Scotland.

The portrait is a significant historical artifact, as it represents a member of the House of Stuart during a period of exile following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which saw the deposition of James II and VII, Henry's grandfather, and the establishment of the Protestant succession with William and Mary. As such, the painting holds value not only as a work of art but also as a document of the political and religious tensions of the time.

"Portrait of Prince Henry Benedict Cardinal York" is part of a larger body of work by Duprà that includes portraits of other members of the exiled Stuart dynasty. The painting is an important example of the artist's portraiture and provides insight into the cultural and historical context of the Jacobite era. It remains a subject of interest for art historians, scholars of British history, and Jacobite enthusiasts.
