"Portrait of Emma Hart, later Lady Hamilton, as a Sibyl" is a notable work by the prominent 18th-century French artist Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, painted circa 1792. The portrait features Emma Hart, who would later become Lady Hamilton, depicted in the guise of a classical sibyl—a prophetess in ancient Greece and Rome known for her oracular wisdom. This painting is one of several portraits Vigée-Lebrun created of Emma Hart, who was renowned for her beauty and her role as a muse to many artists of the time.

Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, born in 1755, was one of the most sought-after portraitists of her era, known for her refined and graceful portrayals of European aristocracy, including Marie Antoinette. Her work is characterized by a combination of Rococo lightness and Neoclassical formality, with a particular talent for capturing the elegance and vivacity of her sitters.

In this portrait, Vigée-Lebrun captures Emma Hart's alluring beauty and her theatrical presence, which made her a celebrated figure in the cultural circles of the late 18th century. Hart, who was an artist's model and the mistress of Sir William Hamilton, the British envoy to Naples, is portrayed with a sense of dramatic intensity and a direct gaze that engages the viewer. The choice to represent Hart as a sibyl aligns her with the timeless wisdom and mystique of the ancient world, while also showcasing Vigée-Lebrun's skill in creating allegorical and mythological portraits.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its reflection of the social and cultural dynamics of the time, particularly the role of women as subjects of art and their portrayal in the context of classical themes. "Portrait of Emma Hart, later Lady Hamilton, as a Sibyl" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun and a testament to the enduring fascination with Emma Hart's life and legacy.
