"Princess Pauline de Metternich" is an oil painting by the renowned French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1865. The artwork is a portrait of Princess Pauline Clémentine Marie Walburga de Metternich-Winneburg zu Beilstein, an Austrian socialite known for her influential role in the cultural and political circles of the Second French Empire. She was the wife of the Austrian ambassador to France, and her salon was a center for the elite of Parisian society.

The painting showcases Degas's early style, which was heavily influenced by classical portraiture and the work of old masters, before he became a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement. In this portrait, Degas captures the elegance and sophistication of the princess with meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of her attire and the subtle interplay of light and shadow.

"Princess Pauline de Metternich" is considered an important work in Degas's oeuvre as it represents his engagement with traditional portraiture and his transition towards the looser, more dynamic brushwork that would characterize his later Impressionist pieces. The painting is also significant for its depiction of a notable historical figure, providing insight into the social and cultural milieu of the time.

The portrait is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the understanding of Degas's artistic evolution and the broader context of 19th-century European art.
